As parents we need to continually challenge our teens with new adventures. Summer opportunities for teen are nearly endless. As with any other summer programs, there are many advantages. One of the greatest for an adventure camp is to visit and explore new places and meet new people.Teen Summer Camp

Is your teen ready for such a program? This must be your first question. Be realistic about your teens personality and readiness and with all things talk with your child.

* Is your teen flexible and willing to move with the punches? If your child takes a long time to adjust to new situations and people, then a teen adventure camp may be difficult and not so enjoyable. Shy type can enjoy a teen tour, it is best to discuss your child's personality with the tour directors.

* Can your child meet the physical demands of the trip? Here you just need to be realistic. If the trip includes a lot of hiking, biking, mountain climbing or camping, your teen must be willing, eager, and in good enough shape to participate. If your child gets motion sickness easily, consider trips which involve long bus rides carefully.

* Does your teen have the maturity and responsibility to handle their independence ? Does your teen make mature decisions? How do they do with peer pressure? Often, teen programs give more freedom than at home. You need to know how your child will react to this kind of freedom.

* Is your teen organized? Your teen will need to be be responsible for their stuff. They will be packing and unpacking their belongings at several locations.
