High Schoolers Need Adventure Camps

High school can be a challenging time for students as they navigate physical, emotional, and intellectual changes. Some of the common challenges faced by high schoolers include:

• Peer Pressure: High school students are often faced with the pressure to fit in with their peers and may feel pressure to conform to social norms, engage in risky behaviors, or ignore their own values and beliefs.
• Self-Esteem Issues: During this stage of development, students may experience fluctuations in their self-esteem as they compare themselves to their peers and try to establish their own identities.
• Academic Pressure: High school students are faced with more complex academic demands and may struggle with the increased workload and challenging coursework.
• Physical Changes: During this stage of development, students experience physical changes such as growth spurts, hormonal changes, and the onset of puberty, which can be confusing and challenging.
• Emotional Changes: High school students are faced with a wide range of emotions as they navigate the challenges of growing up, including stress, anxiety, and depression.

It's important for parents, teachers, and other adults to be supportive and understanding of these challenges and to help students navigate this difficult but exciting stage of life. While an adventure camp won’t necessarily make these challenges disappear, the experiences and skills they develop will help them face difficult times with newfound courage. 

High School Kauai Adventure Camps

Our Kauai camps are full of adventure. Our group will stay in a private, solar-powered retreat center on a 130-acre farm in Kauai. The farm serves as a ministry that offers camps to local children throughout the year who live in Hawaii. 

Teens get to ride horseback along the shores of Kauai and kayak or paddle board along the Hanalei River. They will have fun learning to surf and enjoy beach days of swimming with their new best friends. They’ll get to hike and explore the Waimea Canyon, go sailing, see the sunset, and more!
