Teen Adventures are for 13-16 year olds and are all about making
new friends, experiencing new sites and sounds and seeking new
challenges. Join us for a week of sand, sun and fun at Peninsula
State Park in Door County and Point Beach State Forest in Manitowoc
County! Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday you will camp, swim, hike, bike
and explore Door County including a live theatre performance under the
stars at Peninsula State Park! Wednesday you will head to Point Beach
State Forest where you will have 6 miles of beach and dunes along the
Lake Michigan shoreline, a nature center, and a lighthouse to discover.
Friday after breaking camp, your group will journey to Ledge View Nature
Center in Chilton to do a little spelunking! Led by a park naturalist, explore
the natural limestone caves formed by groundwater and glacial meltwater.
Join us for classic wandering in this teen adventure! |
