Before participating, each teen and their parents must sign the Teen Travel Behavior Contract. This helps families understand the rules, responsibilities, and conduct expected during trips. For parents near Victory Gardens, NJ, this added structure can provide confidence that the program is built with both independence and accountability in mind.
The Teen Travel Program is overseen by a Division Head who manages the group during both camp-based activities and off-site trips. Teen campers are also supervised by staff trained to work with this age group, including the social, emotional, and behavioral needs that often come with early adolescence.
