Sleepaway Programs for Teens

Teenagers are always looking for more independence. A sleepaway camp will help them find it. From sunup to sundown, these overnight camps seamlessly combine great fun with greater responsibility. Spending time away from home—in their own tight-knit community—encourages both self-reliance and teamwork. They’ll make new friends, form lasting bonds, and feel empowered. It’s an experience they’ll look forward to year after year.

Teen camps are ideal for kids who are new to the summer-away experience. Whether they’re first-timers or just changing camps, they’ll be immediately welcomed into a safe, supportive environment that truly connects with teenagers. It’s friendly, social, and “so me!”

Specialty Programs for Teens

The main purpose of a specialty program is to focus on a particular activity, interest, or skill. In the athletic arena, it could be one dedicated to football, basketball, tennis, golf, soccer, baseball, or lacrosse. If you can think of the sport, we probably know of a program.

Travel Programs for Teens

Do you have a teen who wants to travel, to learn, to meet new people, to try new things and to explore? Choose from trips in the US to fantastic places abroad that foster your teen’s independence with the structure parents expect. With new friendships, new memories and new life skills on which to build, a teen tour is sure to be an unforgettable experience.

Wilderness + Outdoor Adventure Programs for Teens

What is your teen wild about? Trekking up glaciers? Paddling down rapids. Exploring caves? Mountain-biking through canyons? Sleeping under the stars? When adventure calls, Summer 365 answers. An expedition into the wilderness leaves all the smartphones, laptops, and MP3 players behind. Instead, these summer programs tap into what’s real. In nature, they’ll find themselves. The things they’ll “like” and the friends they’ll make have nothing to do with social media. From survival training and ropes courses to fly fishing and whale watching, give your kids a real timeout this summer.

Gap Year Programs for Teens

The summer between high-school graduation and the first day of college may seem short—but it can be monumental for personal, academic, or professional growth. A great character- and resume-builder, a gap-year experience may include traveling abroad, language studies, local community service, global charity works, eco preservation, business internships, and more. Not sure where to go or what to do? Let Summer 365 help fill the gap with options that will inspire, motivate, and reward.

Language + Cultural Immersion Programs for Teens

Whether your teen is new to a second language or nearly fluent, Summer 365 will make sure nothing gets lost in translation. The process in selecting a 100% language-focused program is facil, facile, facilmente—in other words, easy. After all, the road to becoming bilingual can take you close to home or across the ocean. Those traveling to Europe and beyond to learn French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, or Japanese will be fully immersed in the culture. More than language lessons, these are life lessons that can have an amazingly profound impact on young lives. Give the gift of language. It will unwrap a world of possibilities.

Community Service Programs for Teens

Local or global, social or environmental, your child can accomplish amazing things. The Summer 365 team will assist in channeling your son or daughter’s energy into positive change. While helping others, they’ll help themselves. See how a little community service can make a huge impact. Call us today.

Neurodiverse Programs for Teens

Fun is for everyone. In addition to the traditional summer-camp activities we all know and love, a teen with special needs can get the extra care and attention necessary to help develop social skills and build self-confidence. Many of these specialized camps offer academic tutoring, speech and language therapy, personal/interpersonal development, and vocational training—along with horseback riding, recreational sports, aquatics, visual/performing arts, and more. It’s truly the best of both worlds.
