A lot of summer camps have a huge program for their campers that are too old to be campers, and too young to be counselors. SOO they go on a teen tour!!

Teen tours at summer camp are normally when the campers are about 15 years old. The tour lasts anywhere from two weeks to two months! When I went on mine, it was a little over three weeks. The tours can happen is so many places. For example, west coast trips (where you travel the states in the west coast of the USA), east coast trips (same as west coast, but east coast, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Costa Rica, Europe and more. The trips are endless!

The director of your camp picks a place (or sometimes more than one) and sets up a program with a company wherever you go. However, it is not like a vacation that you would be going on. There are normally a lot of jokes, and a lot of community service that is done on these trips. Yes, there is a lot of fun things that are planned, but on a lot of these trips, the purpose is to give back.
I went on a teen tour in 2010 with my camp. We went to Costa Rica, and it was by far the most amazing experience of my life. We stayed four hotels, and did LOADS of community service, and hiked a lot. We went zip lining through the jungle, and white water rafting. We stayed at a beautiful resort, and also stayed at a hotel with no electricity. We got the best of both worlds and I would change one thing on my trip.
