Teen Summer Adventure

During Teen Summer Adventure, every day bursts with possibility—a place where curiosity leads the way and adventure waits around every corner. Parents and guardians are invited to enjoy Ghost Ranch themselves, enrolling in engaging workshops or unwinding on a personal retreat, while their teens, ages 15 – 18, set off on unforgettable journeys across the Ranch, guided by our caring Summer Staff.

At the beginning of each week, the teens and our Summer Staff will build out their week of activities together, ensuring the week is thoughtfully designed and that each camper is challenged, engaged, and connected to themselves, each other, our Summer Staff and the land. For returning campers, the magic continues to grow with a mix of both fan-favorite and new activities for all to enjoy. Ranch adventurers meet in the morning and evening for all sessions. There will be optional activities for all ages each afternoon, with free time set aside to connect with the rest of the Ranch’s stunning surroundings and offerings. Activities may include hiking scenic trails, exploring geology, paleontology and desert ecology, participating in team-building games and outdoor challenges and creating landscape inspired art and more! There will also be special, pop-up appearances and sessions by local workshop instructors and local partnerships, such as paper making, cyanotypes, astronomy, dance, theatre and more!

Depending on interest and weather, an overnight camping trip will also be scheduled. Detailed information will be provided upon registration.

This is more than a camp—it’s a world of discovery where laughter echoes, friendships bloom, and memories shine long after summer fades. During Teen Summer Adventure, the magic isn’t just in what you do… it’s in the wonder of it all.

PLEASE NOTE *** Teens must be accompanied with a parent or guardian for the week of overnight stays.
