Tween Summer Adventure Camp

The 2024 Tween Summer Adventure Camp is almost here and it is open to those in 6th to 8th Grades (Incoming Fall 2024).  Our week-long sessions are fun, engaging, educational and recreational.   Your tween/teen will make new friends, try new and exciting activities and leave with amazing memories.  Registration is available per week (no single days allowed, 1 two-week session offered).

Full payment is required at time of registration.  Trips and trip times are subject to change.  Please send your tween with a packed lunch, unless notified otherwise.

How Do We Register For Tween/Teen Programs?

PLEASE NOTE:  A valid Parent/Guardian email address must be provided at registration. ARPD Teen Staff will send important information via email to parents/guardians prior to each camp week (what to bring, drop-off times, waiver information, etc.).

If a waiver is not signed prior to trip day, your tween will not be able to attend the trip and you will be called to pick your tween up.

Parents/Guardians must state:

  • Whether their tween must remain with Leader on the trips OR if tween has permission to stay with a buddy and must check-in with Leaders at designated times; and
  • Whether of not their tween may sign-in and sign-out by themselves each day and the time they can sign out.
 **ARPD Disclaimer:  Registrations that are emailed, faxed or dropped off could have delayed processing.  Registering online will be your best opportunity to secure a spot in one of the ARPD Programs!  If your desired program is full, place your tween on the waiting list as additional program may be added to meet the demand of registration.
NOTE:
Please provide details regarding your child's medical needs and/or any physical, emotional or developmental disabilities they may have.  Safety is of the utmost importance for all ARPD participants.  Providing ARPD with this information is necessary so that we may determine if and how we can safely support your child.  Accommodations are made on a case-by-case basis with a Program Supervisor. 
All participants are required to act responsibly and with respect towards other persons and property during any ARPD sponsored activity.  Failure to do so may result in loss of privileges for the day or other disciplinary measures as deemed necessary.  No refunds if participant is suspended.
