Register for Junior Blast Camp - East and West Campus

Teens (14+), are you interested in working with younger children? Build leadership skills and gain valuable job experience by joining our Junior Blast Camp Program! As a participant, you will be assigned to younger age groups to help organize and lead activities under the guidance of our camp counselors.

Important Information for Parents:

Before registering, please discuss with your child whether they prefer to participate as a helper or as a camper. Junior Blast Camp participants are required to assist counselors with younger campers. If your 14-year-old would rather be grouped with peers their own age, please explore our Summer Blast Camp options.

Program Details:

  • Dates and general information are the same as Summer Blast Camp.
  • Registration opens April 1.
  • Registration fee does not guarantee placement in the camp, specific weeks, or optional field trips, as weekly registration limits apply to ensure a high-quality experience for all participants.
  • Space is reserved only for the weeks you have paid for in advance.

Join us for a summer of fun, leadership, and meaningful experiences!
