The CIT PROGRAM and Road Rules
summer teen programs have been combined
into a new program:
Teen Leadership Camp

The YMCA’s Teen Leadership Camp, located on Lower Range Pond, is a new summer program being offered to teens ages 14-16. Participants in the program will be involved in a variety of camp activities, and have opportunities for exploration outside our day camp setting.

The new Teen Leaders Camp is based on the YMCA values of character development, and is designed to provide teenagers with experiences that will enable them to build leadership skills. Recognizing that teens can be a valued resource, it will be our objective to provide participants with opportunities to acquire skills that will allow them to become effective staff members in the future – and more importantly, leaders in their community.

          Because of the nature of our Teen Leadership Camp, we require registration for a minimum of two consecutive weeks. Cost for the program is $110/wk for members and $115/wk for non-members. Enrollment is limited to 14 teen leaders per week. For more information contact Chris Shea.
