Abstract
The purpose of this project was to implement and evaluate a pilot teen adventure program for camp participants entering into the ninth to twelfth grade while attending Camp Sequoia. The teen adventure program provided structured activities for teenaged campers that focused on developing stronger peer groups, increasing self-awareness and increasing communication skills between the teen camper and their families. After the initial formative evaluations during the first three weeks of the 2010 summer season, adventure program activities became available to campers aged ten years and older. Following the 2010 summer season, the purpose of this project became to develop a lake-wide adventure program, called Sequoia Adventures, that would meet the accreditation standards of the American Camp Association.
