Teen Travel Program Summer 2020 Posted by Crestwood on February 7, 2020 What sounds better than traveling the country and beyond for 39 days with your friends? Nothing really!!! Calling all 7th-10th graders who are looking for an adventure of a summer with our Teen Travel and Teen Adventure program. The goal of our Teen Programs is for your child to become more independent and responsible while having fun with their friends and being supervised by Crestwood staff. We set ourselves apart by hiring mature staff and for this reason only college graduates (most of whom are teachers) work as counselors in our Teen Travel program. Teen Adventure (7th grade) – Teen Adventure (7th grade) combines day trips, late nights and overnights along with two days at camp per week. Teen Adventure campers enjoy two 2-day overnight trips and one 4-day overnight trip each month. Teen Travel (8th – 10th grade) – Teen Travel is our complete Teen Tour program. Teen Travel campers enjoy a combination of local and regional day trips and late nights plus two 3-day overnights and one 5-day overnight each month. Super Teens (10th grade) – Super Teens enjoy the best of the Teen Travel program plus many enhancements to reflect the maturity these older teens possess. Special activities and an additional 5-day (or longer) overnight trip are planned during our August (last 4 week) session. Teens travel on deluxe tour buses whenever leaving Long Island and stay in luxury hotels. They also have the comfort of not being away for consecutive weeks at a time and get to come home and refresh on the Crestwood camp grounds. This is a great program for children who want to travel and explore while also remaining close to home at times. It’s the best of both worlds! And we go to some awesome places! Get some more information on our website, http://www.crestwoodcountryday.com/index.php/camp-programs/teen-travel/, and our new calendars for the 2020/2021 should be posted soon! Inquire ASAP, this program requires planning and fills up fast!
