DCH Teen Camp is an exciting program that is sure to pique the interests of your teen when they feel they have outgrown traditional summer camp. DCH Teen Camp consists of: 2 to 3 bus/walking field trips each week; special guest instructors to cover topics like cooking, robotics, detective work, or zumba; community service/civic engagement in the local area; options for traditional camp activities such as swimming, archery, arts, and sports & games; free time to socialize, use the Teen Camp Clubhouse, and add their own activities they can develop weekly with the Teen Camp staff. Personal electronic devices will be allowed at specific times each day for both appropriate personal use and camp projects such as camp publicity videos.

Community Service & Leadership Training
An integral part of the DCH Teen Camp is Community Service. This year we will be partnering with multiple organizations to allow our teens to give back to the local community. Teens will have the opportunity to volunteer with gardening, working with older adults, working with children, working to help food pantries, and more. As soon as we finalize our community service schedule it will be posted here.
