Developing more confident and grounded youth through an adventure-based summer program.

Watauga Summer Camp

WYN’s six week summer camp for middle school youth gives teens of all socioeconomic backgrounds the opportunity to have a fun and enriching summer experience. Through WYN’s camp, teens have a safe and healthy place to spend their out-of-school hours while making summer memories that every young person deserves.

Our experiential and adventure-based program takes campers outside of their comfort zones and introduces them to new concepts and activities. Over the course of the summer, WYN campers build a strong and uplifting community. In an environment with appropriate challenges and empowering support systems, youth develop critical confidence and character they can carry with them for the rest of their lives.

*Please note our summer camps fill up quickly, but filling out the form will still put you on the waiting list!
