What is Teen Treks Camping like?





Camping is an essential part of Teen Treks trips. Being in a natural setting without the disturbance of televisions, movies and other urban noises encourages the group to get to know each other. A campfire in the woods is a perfect place to let loose. Teens find themselves singing, creating talent shows, swapping stories, and simply enjoying the beauty of nature together. Camping is our glue for the road.

We use private, municipal, state, and national campgrounds. Each campsite has a fire pit and picnic tables. Some campgrounds are fancy (with a pool or beach, rec hall, and facilities for sports), while others are simple and rustic, in a beautiful natural environment.

We supply large enough tents for a roomy and comfortable sleep for all. We bring separate tents for males and females. Inside the tents, trippers use their own sleeping bag and foam mattress to keep them warm and comfortable throughout the night.
