What is Tweenz Travel?
Our _Tweenz_ program is an exciting travel program developed for campers entering 6th-8th grades. Campers participate in day trips Monday thru Thursday, and Fridays are usually spent at camp.

We also include three one-night overnight trips so that our oldest campers begin to explore the world and develop independence.

This is a fun and adventurous program for both campers and staff.

What do Tweenz Group Leaders do?
GLs run the group, along with the _Tweenz_ supervisor, who is there to support your leadership. The most important responsibility is to ensure campers are safe at all times. You'll oversee their activities and ensure they don't get lost or hurt.
