Road Trip: Charleston

Some of the best memories of your teenage years don’t happen in a place. They happen on the way there — windows down, music up, your people around you, and the feeling that something good is just ahead. Road Trip is built around exactly that feeling.

This is unlike anything else in our summer lineup. A group of high schoolers packs up and heads to Charleston, South Carolina for two nights before coming back to camp for the rest of the week. It’s part road trip, part beach trip, part service experience, and entirely the kind of thing you’ll still be talking about ten years from now.

The days in Charleston are full and varied in the best possible way. Beach time that actually feels like beach time — unhurried, sun-soaked, and shared with friends who started the summer as strangers. A service/ learning opportunity that puts campers in contact with a community beyond their own, the kind of experience that quietly shifts how you see the world. And woven through all of it, the particular magic of a road trip with people you’re just getting to know — the inside jokes that form in the back of a van, the conversations that happen when you’re not looking at each other, the sense of shared adventure that bonds a group faster than almost anything else.

Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience intimate and the community tight. This is not a bus full of campers — it’s a small crew, going somewhere together.

The full week includes camp activities before and after the Charleston leg, rounding out a week that genuinely has it all.

This is high school camp for the camper who wants something they’ve never done before.
