Welcome to Teen Travel Adventures!
Adventures takes young teens out of camp and on the road for day-long or week-long adventures! You’ll find us down at the beach, up in the mountains and north of the border. We’ll be boating, biking, seeing the sights and exploring the world!
Day Trippers
New in 2010, the Day Trippers is an option for boys and girls currently in
6th, 7th and 8th grades, who want to be home every night. The group takes
day trips Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays and is in-camp on Fridays.
We plan excusions to rock climbing, the beach, amusement parks, community
service, minigolf, tennis, baseball games, art workshops and much more!
The Day Trippers group is supervised by experienced, mature male and female teachers who work with and understand young teens. The Day Trippers program gives kids a safe and supportive environment for learning social skills and independence. The group travels in our own yellow school buses.
Campers come to camp and go home on the regular camp bus, except for Wednesdays, when parents come to camp to pick up campers at 6:00 pm.
Teen Travel
Middle schoolers currently in 6th, 7th and 8th grades leave the boundaries
of Camp Riverbend for 4-10 days at a time. With other boys and girls, they
travel to fun destinations like Boston, Virginia, Cape Cod, Canada and even
Florida. Teen Travelers leave Camp most Monday mornings and are away until
Friday afternoon; they are home most weekends.
While on the road, our Teens go sightseeing, see baseball games, do community service, create art, paddle kayaks, go underground caving, learn to surf, ride roller coasters and still have time (and energy) to make great life-long friends!
Teen Travelers stay in mid-level hotels and motels, four to a room (same gender, of course!) They eat a healthy variety of food in chain and local restaurants. Most days, they travel in a modern motor coach.
The group is supervised by experienced, mature male and female teachers who work with and understand young teens. Our counselors help Teen Travelers learn to take responsibility for themselves, their belongings and their behavior. The Teen Travel program gives kids a safe and supportive environment for learning social skills.
Campers now in 6th grade have a choice--they can do Teen Travel or Day Trippers, or attend our in-camp program, or combine some of each in one summer!
