Summer camp for 7th-8th & 9th graders 13-14-15 year olds near Dover
Tamarack Day Camp’s Teen Travel Program is designed specifically for teens entering 7th, 8th, or 9th grade. It combines the structure of traditional camp days with the excitement of off-site trips. Campers take part in a consistent group schedule when on-site, participating in activities such as swimming, ropes courses, team sports, and creative workshops. These camp days are guided by experienced counselors who manage the daily flow and encourage peer connections.
In addition to regular camp programming, participants also enjoy supervised day trips to regional destinations. This combination of camp-based structure and travel gives teens a well-rounded experience that balances independence, social growth, and outdoor fun.
While off-site, all participants in Tamarack Day Camp’s Teen Travel Program follow a clear set of safety protocols. These procedures, known as the Tamarack Travel Protocols, are designed to ensure each camper is accounted for and supervised during all parts of the trip. Before the program begins, both teens and their parents must review and sign a Teen Travel Behavior Contract that outlines expectations and responsibilities while traveling.
A dedicated Division Head oversees the Teen Travel Program and is responsible for managing all activities—both on camp days and during trips. This leader works closely with a team of trained staff who are experienced in supervising teens in public spaces, providing guidance, and responding to the specific needs of middle school-aged campers.
