| Teen Camp
Entering Grades 9 – 11 (capacity 24 teens per session)
Teen Camps are for older campers who love camp and want an extended experience full of opportunities for personal growth and fun. The two-week sessions (weekend included) emphasize self-discovery, teamwork, personal responsibility and positive communication. Strong friendships will develop as Teen Campers spend time on the challenge course, participate in traditional camp activities and gain outdoor living skills using the Leave No Trace curriculum. Teen Campers live in rustic River Village and are led by a team of experienced and outstanding counselors. During the second week of the session Teens will have the opportunity to use their newly learned skills and enhance their friendships by participating in one of two off-camp experiences.
A three-day river rafting experience on the Deschutes River. The trip will be lead by experienced guides through River Drifters and YMCA staff. This trip offers challenging rapids and an opportunity to explore the river canyon environment with two nights of camping. (Limited to 12 campers per session)
A three-day adventure to sunny, central Oregon in Bend. In addition to camping one full day will be spent rock climbing on Smith Rock with experienced guides provided through Chockstone Climbing Guides. The second day will be a full day mountain biking experience lead by Cog Wild Mountain Biking Tours. (Limited to 12 campers per session)

Teen Camp Fees
Realizing that families have different abilities to pay, YMCA Camp Collins uses a three-tier rate structure for our summer camp programs. Please take a moment to look at the rate descriptions below and choose the rate level that is most suitable for your family.
Rate One
Based on the actual cost of camp for one child to participate. Includes expenses for staff, maintenance, food and supplies.
Example
$980.00 $930.00 $880.00
Rate Two
Our partially subsidized fee for those families who can pay a little more, but still can't afford the actual cost of camp.
Example
$980.00 $930.00 $880.00
Rate Three
Our standard subsidized fee. This rate does not reflect the true cost of operating sumer camp programs.
Example
$980.00 $930.00 $880.00
This program is voluntary and in no way influences the experience children receive, yet it offers the opportunity for families to take an active role in supporting the true cost of their child's camp experience.
