Day trips are carefully planned and age-appropriate, offering experiences beyond the camp grounds without the need for overnight travel. This program is available to families near Florham Park, NJ, providing a convenient summer option that combines adventure with a well-supervised camp structure.
When teens in the Tamarack Day Camp Teen Travel Program are off-site, they follow a set of clear safety protocols known as the Tamarack Travel Protocols. These guidelines are in place to ensure that every participant is accounted for, supervised closely, and knows what is expected of them during each trip.
Before the summer begins, both the teen and a parent or guardian must review and sign the Teen Travel Behavior Contract. This agreement outlines behavioral expectations and reinforces the importance of following staff instructions, staying with the group, and maintaining respect in public settings.
All Teen Travel groups are led by a dedicated Division Head who is responsible for daily coordination and supervision, whether the group is at camp or on a day trip. In addition, the staff assigned to this program receive specialized training to manage group dynamics in public areas and to address the social and behavioral needs of early adolescents.
The Teen Travel Program is available to families living near Florham Park, NJ, offering structured and well-supervised day trips that support both independence and accountability.
