New one-week Teen Adventure: Amazing Race! camp now available July 25-30!

32 DAYS UNTIL RESIDENT CAMP!

We just added a new camp to this season's YMCA Camp: Horsethief Reservoir's Teen Adventure Series, a one-week Amazing Race! camp July 25-30!

About Amazing Race! (12-15):

This camp is the most exciting, longest scavenger/treasure hunt your child will ever go on, unless of course he or she is lucky enough to get on the TV show of the same name!

The first day is spent learning basic camping skills needed for the week and packing our equipment. Then the group receives the first clue, guiding them to an on-camp challenge. From there on, the adventure never stops!

Campers must decipher successive clues, find their route on the map (to off-camp destinations), and then complete creative physical and mental challenges to earn clues that will continue the journey. Rafting, climbing, rappelling, hiking, biking, treasure hunting, quizzing locals ... you never know what the next adventure might be!

We guarantee everyone will come home with incredible stories to tell! If you are looking for a fun-filled adventure with great opportunities for personal growth and a chance to see more of our great state, this is the camp for you!

See the TAS General Information for other camp skills taught in all TAS programs. Specific itineraries for Amazing Race camps are given to parents at check-in. We don’t want to ruin the surprise!
