By Lonnie Lorenz


As parents we need to continually challenge our teens with new adventures. Summer opportunities for teen are nearly endless. As with any other summer programs, there are many advantages. One of the greatest for an adventure camp is to visit and explore new places and meet new people.Teen Summer Camp

Before you decide you are going to send your child on a summer adventure you need to be sure that your child is ready for this. See a movie on different websites and encourage your child to try something new. Be realistic about your teens personality and readiness. Here are 5 things to ask yourself:

* Is your teen flexible and willing to move with the punches? If your child takes a long time to adjust to new situations and people, then a teen adventure camp may be difficult and not so enjoyable. Shy type can enjoy a teen tour, it is best to discuss your child's personality with the tour directors.

* You need to be realistic if your child can meet the physical demands of the trip? Your teen must be in good enough shape for the hiking, biking, mountain climbing or camping. Being willing, eager, and in good enough shape to participate is a must. Remember, motion sickness, maybe your teen should consider trips which do not involve long bus rides.

* Mature and responsibility are a must. Can your teen handle the independence of a teen tour? Are they mature in their decision making? How do they do with peer pressure? Often, these programs give teens more freedom than they have at home. Be sure you know how your child will react to this kind of freedom and independence.

* Is your teen organized? Your teen will be responsible for packing and unpacking their belongings at several locations.

*Does your teen feel the urge to go on this adventure? If your teen is unsure, you may want to look for another activity or help them see the benefits. These trips are expensive and demanding. Though your teen may be apprehensive, you want to hear that she is looking forward to the challenge and is interested. Maybe you need to search for a program that is closer to your child's personality and interests.
