SMA Teen Summer Camp Featured in Camp Navigator Publication

Posted by Jud Millar

Thu, Apr 24, 2014

Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer Camp has been featured in a recent publication by Camp Navigator.

Camp Navigator helps parents find quality summer camps and summer programs for thier children. Our updated 2013 Directory of Summer Camps can help you in your search for the best day camps, overnight camps and teen tour/travel camps for kids and teens this upcoming summer.

While sending children to Summer Camps has meritorious results, choosing a right Summer Camp is what actually matters. Landing in a wrong place wherein tutors or coaches take children for a ride will be a more adverse situation. Then what to do? Nothing to worry my friends, search for a right summer camp. Here at Camp Navigator, you can find 10,000+ best summer camps to choose from, that matches all your childs interests. You Can also use Summer Camp Advisory Service to request this information by email or phone. I am happy today that I have found something like Camp Navigator. Hope you will make use of it to transform your child into most successful person.

This will be about an 8 mile ride following Eagle trail to Sleek Dog over to Fawn down Osprey onto the Epic Hydro Loop.  Here’s where it gets interesting, when the Hydro Loop drops down to the waters edge we will board a house boat with our bikes and set sail on the waters of Raystown Lake.  Once on the boat, we’ll stop for a swim, have some lunch, and return to Susquehannock Campground Site 15 between 12.30 and 1pm.

Come see SMA Teen Summer Camp at a Camp Fair!

Mon, Jan 13, 2014

Winter is upon us and as the northeast is blanketed in snow many families start to think about summer plans including summer camps for kids. A great resource to help families sort through all the available options are to visit a camp fair.  A camp fair is similar to a job or college fair but is for summer camps and travel programs.  Representatives from 50 to 100 camps and travel programs gather at a school, mall or hotel and families stop by and learn about the programs.

The arrival of winter at SMA: Read about Changes in Camp Since Summer.

Posted by Jud Millar

Wed, Dec 18, 2013

Winter and now the holiday season is already here... it seems like just a few weeks ago we were planning the Session 3 Crew Olympics and playing "Jud Games" on the front lawn. It’s hard to believe that the Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer of 2013  ended about four months ago. Since then the leaves on the trees have changed color and fallen off and, as I write this, the temperature outside is a chilly 16 degrees. More snow is expected this weekend!

The rhythm of the seasons brings familiar change and now that the first snow fall and inaugural sled riding on Pam and Biff’s hill have come and gone, in general, we spend more time inside stoking the wood stove than outside “playing.” With shorter days and longer nights it’s a little harder to get outside and easier to curl up with a book. But the winter world is beautiful and peaceful and gives new perspective on a familiar landscape.  Stone Mountain Adventures Teen Summer camp in now blanketed by snow.
