Stanford Teen Camp is designed for teens ages 13-14 as a place to hang out, make friends and be active in the summer. We created this camp to fill the void between day camps designed for younger kids and more intense sleep-away camps. We keep each session small to create a close-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. Many of our alumni tell us camp felt more like hanging out with a group of friends than "going to camp."
Teen Camp uses Stanford University as a base camp for excursions all over the Bay Area. In the past we have traveled to Raging Waters, Palo Alto Bowl, Jump Sky-High and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. On days that Teen Camp stays on campus, teens will participate in many traditional and non-traditional sports and games in a non-competitive setting. These sports range from soccer and basketball to dodgeball tournaments and disc golf.
Teen Camp has been running for 15 years through the Stanford Varsity Fencing team. We work hard to create a positive place for teens to enjoy their summer.
