Young Teen Camp

Young Teen Camp is a week of programming tailored to campers entering the eighth and ninth grades in the fall. This week of camp features numerous outdoor experiences including an outdoor adventure day, chapel in the woods, and an overnight camp out. There are also opportunities to try acting, kayaking, rock climbing, and even producing a camp newspaper!

Since eighth and ninth graders are at a pivotal point in their lives, having their character shaped by the choices they make, the camping program is designed to take each camper out of his or her comfort zone and encourage them to focus on faith in Christ as the compass for their lives.

Beginning in grade school, John and Jennifer Derochers were involved in Christian camping, with Jenn attending Camp Timberledge in her youth. The couple even met while working for a Christian camp and conference center near Boston. After three years of employment there, they departed with countless ideas for programming which they now integrate into Young Teen Camp and the annual Young Teen Fall and Spring Youth Retreats on the camp premises.

When not working with the Camp Timberledge Young Teen program, John is a US Postal Letter Carrier and Jennifer is a full-time mom to their three young sons, Seth, Gabriel and Nathan.
