The First Session Slideshow is finally here!
First Session of Stone Mountain Adventures 2 week summer camp began on Sunday, June 22nd. After much anticipation by parents and campers and a 10 day staff training, it was safe to say that we were all extremely excited that the summer of 2014 was finally off and running.
In the ensuing two weeks we took photos and captured special moments at activities (think rock climbing, horseback riding, and soccer), service learning projects, camping overnights and evening activities (Disco Roller Skating, yea!) and while hanging around camp with friends. We collected these photos and created a slideshow!
More 2014 Session Slideshows to be uploaded in the days to come!
So here it is, the official slideshow of Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer Camp's First Session of 2014!
Many of these photos are also available to download at Photobucket.com.

Summer Camp for Teenagers
Stone Mountain Adventures (SMA) is a co-ed overnight teen summer camp with 60
teenagers ages 12-16 located in the mountains of central Pennsylvania. Our adventure activities provide the opportunity for young adults to challenge themselves to step beyond their abilities: to ride with confidence, to rock climb with technique, to control the sail, or to bike one more hill. We create a non-competitive atmosphere where campers have fun, make lasting friendships and feel safe trying new activities.
We are a very active summer community and do a good job of getting campers excited about all aspects of camp from our adventure activities and traditional sport to going
roller skating to going white water rafting together as a group. As with many aspects of teenagers lives, our camp is also a very social place and we work hard to model and encourage positive relationships, create community in an authentic way, stop cliques from developing, and take away many of the traditional pressures that teens feel in school. The result is that campers feel a new found freedom to explore who they truly are while at the same time feeling like they have a new “home away from home” at Stone Mountain Adventures. With only 60 campers per session, SMA co-ed teen teen summer camp is a small, non-competitive adventure camp. With 1 staff member to every 4 campers, camp feels like a great big family, full of good friends. We celebrate our victories, accept our shortcomings, and learn from both. As the days flow by, our philosophy of respect and sharing emerge. We learn respect for animals, the outdoors, and each other. As strong individuals, we come together as a summer family, learning and having fun together. Oh yea… and did we mention that everyday we have FUN!
We find that as a co-ed overnight teen summer camp Stone Mountain Adventures is well suited for:
- Young teens, especially those who have outgrown the traditional camp.
- Those wanting a family atmosphere.
- Those wanting an older staff, mid 20's.
- Parents who want to visit camp, visiting day is any day a parent shows up.
- Teens who crave independence - we give them as much as we can, but health and safety always come first.
- Families that want a safe environment for their child to personally grow during those difficult early teen years.
- Those who feel stuck in the woods at a traditional camp, we travel a lot.
