Pacific Community Center · $180/week

Travelin' Teens Summer Camp offers a dynamic day camp experience for teens aged 11-14, focusing on excursions to various Southern California attractions.

▌ Editor's read The Travelin' Teens Summer Camp is operated by the City of Glendale's Community Services & Parks Department, indicating it is a municipal program (source: glendaleca.gov/government/departments/community-services-parks/recreation-programs/day-camps/travelin-teens-summer-camp). The program is designed for teens aged 11-14 and operates as a day camp, with a primary focus on daily excursions to various Southern California attractions such as theme parks, beaches, and museums (source: glendaleca.gov/government/departments/community-services-parks/recreation-programs/day-camps/travelin-teens-summer-camp). While the camp's webpage details activities and registration information, it does not provide specific details regarding staff-to-camper ratios or explicit language about staff background checks. The camp is not listed in the American Camp Association (ACA) directory, suggesting it is not ACA accredited. The City of Glendale's Parks and Recreation department maintains a Facebook presence under 'GlendaleParksandRec', which promotes various city programs including summer camps, though a dedicated Instagram handle for Travelin' Teens was not found.

Who thrives here Ages 12–14

Travelin' Teens Summer Camp is built for middle-school campers — an age where leadership tracks, deeper specialization, and identity exploration take over from generalist day-camp formats. community/rec center programs that thrive at this age publish a clear weekly progression rather than a rotating activity menu, and the staff-to-camper conversation usually matters more than the activity list.
