Wilderness Ventures: Teen Summer Camps

If you’re searching for traditional Teen Summer Camps or Teen Adventure Programs, you’ve come to a place where traditional turns into Exhilarating! Since 1973, Wilderness Ventures has been conducting unique Teen Summer Camps in many of the finest areas for teen summer camp activities in the world. Our teen summer camps and international adventure programs for teens combine an enriching group living experience with Outdoor Adventure and leadership skill training in a fun, non-competitive Wilderness Camp environment.

As the pioneering teen summer camp, Wilderness Ventures has been conducting adventure tours in the American West for 39 years. We conducted our first teen summer camp in 1973, visiting all of the most splendid wilderness areas in the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest. Today, we take great pride in running the best teen adventure camps in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, Hawaii, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico and in several international destinations, including Central and South America, Europe, Australia and the South Pacific. Because of our vast teen adventure experience, our exclusive destinations, and the enviable degree of control that we have over the quality of our adventures, we are largely considered the best teen summer camp available to today's teens.

Check out the rave reviews some participating families gave the Winter Activities Challenge:

“The Winter Activities Challenge was so much fun - I’ve always seen the ‘Activities’ tab on your website but have never tried any. This challenge helped us take the plunge & it was a blast!” -Katherine H

“Thank you for the opportunity of doing the challenges with our first grader.  She is living with us as a foster child, and before coming to live with us, never had the use of a computer outside of school.  Even though the last challenge was a little difficult for her, she really enjoyed all of them.  We made them out to be games, and she looked forward to them as fun times.” -Lorry M 

“Thanks so much – The Challenge saved us over our extended snow day ‘vacation’!” -Gina D

Completing the Summer Activities Challenge isn’t just a fun way to win cool prizes! It can serve a functional purpose, too. Looking for ways to keep kids busy during your family’s Fourth of July party? Try making these awesome Patriotic Pinwheels or these festive Stars and Stripes Planters. Want to spruce up your house with patriotic décor? Try these red, white and blue Picnic Caddys or Folded Paper Star Garlands.
