Teen Camp
Ages 13-15

Where will you live?

As a teen camper, you will reside in either the Hillside cabins, Hilltop, Blackberry, or Blueberry cabin. Each cabin has 1-2 counselors depending on size. All cabins have electricity and are located near a centralized bath house with hot water and showers!

Will you be in the same cabin as your friend(s)
or other family members?

YES! As long as they are between the ages of 13-15, the same gender, and you request to be with your friend on your registration form, then it is not an issue to be in the same cabin as your friend(s) or family members coming to camp!

What will you do?

In the morning, you participate in a track of activities that you chose on Sunday.

In the afternoon, you have 2 choice periods, rest hour, and 2 periods of free time.

How about at night?

Night time is the best at Camp Middlesex, especially if you are a teen camper! First you will participate in the regular evening activity that goes along with the Themes & Events for the week. Then, you will stay up an extra hour and participate in Teen Evening Program which offers you a chance to unwind, team build, and have some fun! Past teen programs have included: Messy food relays, movie night, night swim, lip syncs, and campfires.

Program Day:

* 5 different periods of activities each day

* We focus on allowing campers to choose
which activities they want to participate in!
