ROCKWOOD ADVENTURES TEEN TRAVEL

WHEREVER THE FUN IS...WE'RE THERE!!! That's right, we work all year to find the most fun attractions, places to eat, things to see and do just for our campers! Whether it's in Washington, D.C. to see "Shear Madness" at the Kennedy Center and visit the Newseum, in Atlanta to tour the CNN Studios, the Georgia Aquarium or World of Coca-Cola, in Boston to Ride the Ducks or see fireworks on the beach in New Hampshire, in Niagara Falls to tour Cave of the Winds, go jetboating or ride the Maid of the Mist, at Club Getaway, THE Resort for Teens, where we'll spend 4 days doing sooo many cool camp activities, in the Hershey area to play lasertag at Laserdome and tour Chocolate World or checking out the rides at one of many amusement and water parks, our teens have an awesome time on Rockwood Adventures because we know where the fun is...all day... every day...all summer!

ROCKWOOD ADVENTURES was launched in 1991 as an alternative to both a traditional day camp and a residential camp. This exciting, travel program is planned for teens entering 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th grades in September 2012 and is designed for those campers who want to experience a wide variety of activities while being away from home during the week. There are a number of options planned to suit varying summer schedules...with 2, 4, 6 and 8 week options available! During Sessions 1, 2 and 4, our teen travelers depart on Monday morning for a five day trip and return on Friday afternoon. During Session 3, we'll spend 10 days traveling throughout the southern United States.

Our travel is throughout the eastern United States. Our Rockwood Adventures Teen Tour Director, Cricket Snearing, visits locations in advance to see that our campers have security, comfort and cleanliness wherever we go! We travel in a luxury motor coach bus, featuring video screens and restrooms and driven by professional drivers.

The campers bond into a great group, making new friends and sharing the best of times. They learn to function as a part of a team, develop independence and learn how to share group responsibilities. Best of all, the learning takes place without interrupting the fun for one minute!

The proven success of our program has everything to do with great staff. Our Director works year-round to plan the program and meets with new campers and their parents prior to the beginning of the camp season. At that time, we review the activities and the very important set of guidelines to ensure that all campers enjoy their experience "to the max". The summer staff, chosen for their experience in working with children, includes counselors and the director. We provide staff training and orientation, which are specific to the needs of a travel program.

The tuition includes meals, admissions, accommodations, transportation, duffel bag and group and individual photos. Spending money and uniform shirts are not included.

A "combo" program is also available, with 2 or 4 weeks Teen Travel combined with 4 or 6 weeks of camps at Sesame/Rockwood. We also offer a combo program with 2, 4 or 6 weeks of day camp at Diamond Ridge Day Camp, located in Jamison...travel first or come to day camp first! (Campers for the combo option must be within our regular day camp transportation areas). Please contact camp to discuss your location to see if transportation to and from your home is in our regular camp transportation area or if other possible arrangements would need to be discussed.
