START A CAMP
A camp experience that makes a difference.
Teen Reach Adventure Camp (T.R.A.C.) is a camping program geared for at-risk youth, usually residing in foster care, who have been abused, abandoned or neglected. Every Teen Reach Adventure Camp emphasizes self-value, teamwork, healthy values, and personal success.
The teenage years are awkward at best, but for teens in the foster care system, these years are especially difficult. Every day is literally a struggle to survive: gangs, addictions, and bullying are a reality for many.
At Teen Reach Adventure Camp, youth learn their true value and potential. Through activities on the challenge course, campers learn to process their stories and find healing from their pain.
Camp is packed full of fun activities, opportunities to learn and great memories which will change the lives of teenagers forever.

Provide separate, three-day programs for boys and girls.
Prioritize camper safety.
Pair two campers to one counselor.
