by Jeff and Lonnie Lorenz

Most teens want to do things for themselves and are bored by even the thought of a “normal” camp. Swift Nature Camp has created the Adventure Camp program, a coed teen summer camp program that is just for teenaged campers up to 15 years of age, with a Counselor in Training Program for ages 16 and 17.

Like its summer camp programs for pre-teens, Swift Nature Camp offers an amazing range of camp activities. Hiking, climbing, ceramics, horseback riding, tennis, kayaking, and whitewater rafting are among the most popular programs among teen campers.

Summer camps bring teens into a relaxed and fun-filled environment, foster self-esteem and independence, and inspire challenge with new physical and creative activities. Teen Camps is a special opportunity to make friends for kids of all ages, and teens are no exception. Most easily bored teens crave adventure.

Swift Nature Camp offers their Adventure Camp program, opportunities to leave camp behind and take trips to the Apostle Islands, the International Wolf Center, or the Mississippi River.

The directors of Swift Nature Camp believe that children of all ages, especially teenagers, need a break from the stress and competition of the modern world. A positive, encouraging environment that fosters acceptance brings a welcome balance to young lives. The small, intimate, friendly and non-competetive environment for all of its teen summer camp programs benefits veteran campers and first-timers alike. Teen Camps

Today’s teens grow up too fast and need time to play. An Adventure Summer Camp should challenge your teen to try new things, but not in a stressful way. Camp is not school! Interaction with animals can be a perfect way for a child to learn by the natural discovery of play. Besides all the fun and excitement of a traditional camp, the kids have the joy of discovering Nature and the world we live in.

Campers come to love and remember the fun, the companionship and the life in a beautiful natural setting among caring staff and instructors, . Many teen campers return summer after summer, returning to see friends and enjoy everything they have come to know as camp life.

Summer camp is a great place to be oneself and a perfect place to make lifelong friends. Teens come to love summer camp and look forward to time away from the pressures of performance, and the change to rediscover themselves.

3 Great two person tents

by Hasse Hansen

A two person tent is the most used tent. This tent is easy to handle and can be used by one person very comfortably. It is ideal for travel and for carrying around in a back pack. These tents are usually available at about three hundred dollars and a higher price means that they are taking more money from you.

There are thousands of tent companies who boast of the best two person tents. You may be easily beguiled by any one of them and end up with a tent that is really not so great. Therefore we are here to help. We will take you through all the details and the pricing of the best tents that are available in the market.

We can start with the Marmot Equinox, a tent that will cost you about $250 to buy. This tent has weight that is around six pounds and eleven ounces. As with just about everything else, the tent is available to buy online. If it were a few ounces less, it would surely be the best tent available.

It is anyway a great tent and there is no need to crib about the weight. It has a forty square feet roomy space with double doors at each end of the tent. It is dog friendly as it comes with an extra door for your dog too. The tent is very meshy for ventilation and has a very sturdy design to keep off bad weather just like that.

The next in line is the Sierra Designs Meteor Light tent that weighs about six pounds and ten ounces. It is the same as the Equinox in its shape and has a bid door with a vestibule at one end.

One of the best freestanding tents we have ever tested without a doubt. The tent has all the features that you can allow yourself to expect from it, including vertical walls with plenty mesh to make great ventilation. A rain fly is also included.

The third and the last in this series is the Mountain Hardwear Light Wedge 2 tent. This tent will only cost you about two hundred and twenty five dollars in total and come with amazing features.

Of the three tents, this is the cheapest one. Not only that, it is also the lightest, weighing as much as a pound lesser than the two other tents. Five pounds and ten ounces is its match weight. The minus with this tent compared to the other tents is its floorspace.
