Summertime gets many of our youth outside and having fun. Many of the camp options in the Capital Region focus on elementary age children. Teens need camp too! Teens at camp socialize and challenge by choice on activities. We would all agree that getting teens away from their phones for 8-9 hours each summer day is a goal to strive for.
How about leadership skill building? The Albany JCC offers the oldest teens to become a Counselor in Training during the camp day. The teens can choose to volunteer with the younger elementary age campers, or they can assist the Camp Specialists as an apprentice. During the summer, there will be a two day American Red Cross Babysitting Course. The teens will learn the business of babysitting, behavior management, and will receive a two year certificate for CPR and First Aid.
What happens after mid August when Teen Camp ends? The Albany JCC offers two weeks of Specialty Camps in late August. For teens, there is Circus Camp with Circus Theatricks, Challenger Soccer, and Capital Region Basketball Boot Camp.
