Does anyone know of a nearby summer camp or activities for teens? I have a 14 yr old boy that plays basketball, drums, and is quite physically active. I want to find something to get a little busy in the summer. Any suggestions? (doesn't have a "camp") I live in the east Fort Worth/Hurst area.
My boys go to a summer camp in Hunt Texas. It is a true camp in that he would be gone for 4 weeks. I was very nervous about sending my sons away but they loved it. It is called Camp Stewart and they are great! Empowering, responsible, exciting.
He would probably enjoy "Teen Camp" at Pathways - http://www.gopathways.org/tpages/teen_camp.htm
or at Zak's Ridge - http://www.zacsridge.org/content/view/21/37/. He will get alot out of the training specifically designed for his age. Good luck! B.
My family and I have been to Pine Cove in Tyler for 4 summers. My whole family loves it and I hear their youth camps are amazing! The staff is super quality and the activities and food is great!! I would highly recommend it! It really is an awesome place!

He would be welcome to join us at the lake this summer - Meadowmere Park on Lake Grapevine - www.AdventureDayCamps.com
I have a number of 13 year old signed up with a few of my prior campers that turn 14 and want to come back. We provide activities such as Archery, Target Shooting, Kayaking, Fishing, Swimming, Outdoor Games, Arts & Craft Projects, Nature Walks, Geocaching, Orienteering, and more.
Hi Jacqlene,
I don't know what area you live in but if you are near Ft. Worth there is the YMCA-Camp Carter. I started taking my son there when he was 8 till he was about 10 or 11 during the summer. The kids hiked, played volleyball, swam and did all sorts of activities. I hope the camp is still around my son is now almost 18 so check it out it may be just what you need.
Hope your son likes it. Good luck.

check out Kids Who Care at kidswhocare.org--my two teenagers are very involved with it and love it.
Hello! Since he likes basketball, I would suggest the Dallas Mavs Hoop Camp. It's only one week long, they have several sessions all summer. My daughter did it last year, and we've signed her up for this year, also. It is a little expensive, but she really enjoyed it. They get pictures, a jersey, cards w/their info on them. She even got to meet a couple of Mavs players. Just go to the mavs website to check it out. They have them at different high schools each week, so you should be able to find one close to you. My daugher is 15 this year, and my nephew goes too. He's 16 this year, and he really enjoys it.
