Teens activities vary based on program. Teen Adventure programs are outdoor and hiking focused, with a two-night overnight and emphasis on outdoor skills. Teen Leadership programs focus on team-building, identity, and leadership skills. Teen Arts explores leadership skills and identity through arts and nature. Teen Stewards is a three-week program that takes a well-rounded approach to working at Westwind from all sides.
Teens participate in most activities that youth camp does, in addition to program-specific activities.
