The opportunity for Teens at YMCA Camp Kern is unlimited! Kern Challenge is filled with canoe trips, laser kraze and Ozone Zipline Adventures. Ultimate Survivor involves tribes squaring off in all-day challenges in search of a victory at Tribal Council. The Leaders in Training and Counselor in Training programs prepare campers to step up into roles of leadership both at camp and in the real world. With these programs and more, there is plenty of choice for those campers looking for a challenging but rewarding week. Boundary pushing, safety net removing and thrown in at the deep end activities will build confidence and skills that will last well beyond a week at camp. Friendships built through shared experiences, creative thinking enhanced through problem-solving and life lessons such as teamwork, leadership and communication are all part and parcel of our teen and leadership camps.
