All about Teen Camp at Horsethief Reservoir

If you're a parent of a teenager, you surely hear "I'm bored" when summer rolls around. Here's the cure: Teen Camp at Horsethief Reservoir.

YMCA Teen Camp is the ultimate summer camp experience for teens! This is the camp our youth campers look forward to as they near the teenage years and the camp our former staff often return to volunteer for because it is such a blast!

Our Teen Camp staffers are hand-picked for their ability to work with teens, create a fun, safe, caring camp environment and be excellent role models! Some of the activities have changed over the years, but our focus is still the same — build stronger, more thoughtful teens who are better equipped to navigate the world around them. In a too-often turbulent world, camp is still the one place where every teen is accepted and every person valued. We strive to help campers develop character and build assets through a variety of fun, challenging activities. Our staff work hard to make this a safe, fun and well-supervised week in the mountains with activities and events specifically geared to the teens we serve.

Teen campers have the opportunity to choose from a variety of all-new exciting activities each year. Some of the activities our campers can try include:

• Mud Fight

• Tubing

• Block Party Dance

• Talent Shows

• Cabin Competitions

• Color Wars

• Cardboard Boat Brigade

• Invention Competitions

Plenty of time is scheduled for teens to hang out with new and old friends during free time and camp store. Lots of swimming, canoeing, tie dye and lanyard making happen during free time. Cabins then regroup to spend quality time working together and getting to know each other better. As with all Y Camp programs, campers are encouraged to meet new friends, try new activities and stretch themselves under the careful supervision of our camp staff.
