What are Teen Summer Camps?

Teen Summer Camps are typically very short term programs where teens go to do fun arts and crafts, sing campfire songs, sleep in tents or cabins in the wilderness. There are three major categories of camps. Day Camps - where a teen would go for the day do arts and craft or sports and go home at the end of the day. Residential Camps - where a teen boards at the camp and usually sleeps in tents or cabins. Travel programs - where a teen will travel to different locations.
