Who thrives here Ages 14–15

Teen Intensive serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in specialty, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.

Frequently asked about Teen Intensive

What ages does Teen Intensive accept?
Teen Intensive is open to children ages 14–15. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
How much does Teen Intensive cost?
Teen Intensive publishes $400/week for the standard session. Final cost depends on session length, sibling discounts, and whether extended care is added on.
Who runs Teen Intensive?
Teen Intensive is operated by the local parks department. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does Teen Intensive provide lunch?
Teen Intensive does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
How does Teen Intensive compare to other specialty camps in Raleigh?
Teen Intensive is one of 83 specialty camps in Raleigh that overlap its age range. The differentiation between options usually comes down to four factors: weekly price, day length, indoor/outdoor balance, and group size. Browse same-city alternatives in the directory to compare side by side.
