The M.I.T. work/leadership training camp is for younger teens, age 12 to 16, who have already attended TWA programs anytime during the past 4 years, (or who attend one week during the current summer as a regular Big Kid camper before doing an MIT week). Your teen will be assigned to our adult Mentors who train teens in leadership and job skills. Parents may choose any week of the summer. No application is needed, although if your teen has difficulty with his/her leadership responsibilities, he/she can simply continue the week as a regular camper, (very fun too).
Or if you think that your teen just wants to go to camp (and not be an MIT), your teen may sign-up as a regular 5-day, 4-day, or Friday camper to focus on wilderness skills and building stuff. We keep our teens busy each week with advanced building projects, and it’s okay if your teen just needs to be a kid. Our famous “Big Kid Hill” is covered in forts and tree houses that are reserved for our older kids.
