Field trips to Game Works, Snoqualmie Falls, LeMay Car Museum and a Tacoma Rainiers game are among the activities that await seventh, eighth and ninth graders (as of fall 2015) at the city of Kent’s Teen Camp.
Hosted by Kent Parks and Recreation Department, Teen Camp provides a variety of recreational opportunities geared toward keeping teens physically and mentally fit during the dog days of summer.
According to program coordinator Dave Hobbs, Teen Camp is an exciting, fun and safe summer experience.
“Kids will develop new friendships and self-esteem while creating memories that last a lifetime,” Hobbs said.
Attendees will experience two field trips per week. The camp can handle up to 20 teens per week.
Teen Camp runs weekly June 22 to Aug. 14, Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. at Mill Creek Middle School, 620 N. Central Ave. With the exception of the week of July 4, weekly sessions cost $160 each and include field trips, sack lunches, afternoon snacks and a T-shirt. Scholarships are available for those who qualify based on family income.
