"Your camp allowed my daughter to enter a world where she knew she wouldn't be judged or bullied. She feels nothing but love, togetherness, but most importantly, she feels accepted. I cannot thank you enough for allowing me financial help to get her back to camp for the past three summers, and for helping to make my daughter a better, confident, happy young lady."

Teen Programs at Camp Burgess & Hayward

Whether you are looking for adventure, service, leadership development, camping, or fun, our programs offer an enriching experience within a safe and structured environment.

During the summer, we run Adventure Trips around North America, Community Service Projects, Overnight Camps and Leadership Development Programs, which include the Counselor-in-Training and Outdoor Leadership programs.

Throughout the rest of the year, we offer weekend and weeklong adventure trips and retreats. Teenagers have the opportunity to challenge themselves with new activities, make new friends, gain independence and learn valuable life skills.
