Designed for the older camper, Camp Tepeetonka has an emphasis on personal challenge, skill-building, adventure and opportunities for friendship building.

Campers enjoy their own “camp within a camp” with special features such as an independent pavilion and amphitheater. Special activities include overnights, scavenger hunts, water wars, and a day-long trip to Wild Water West. What makes this program so special, however, is the focus on building friendships, with a particular concentration on team building.

Campers have the opportunity to lead “all camp” activities that require goal setting, planning, and problem-solving together. To help facilitate this learning experience, campers spend time in small groups with specialized staff, using a variety of team-building initiatives and group challenges.

Camp Tepeetonka is split into two age groups. 10&11 year olds participate in “Tepeetonka Alpha”, and 12&13 year olds participate in “Tepeetonka Grande”. The age groups, also split by gender, provide the opportunity for campers to progress through their years of camp, and experience different and exciting activities as they get older.

In addition, Camp Tepeetonka has a reputation for instilling traditional values through staff role modeling, inspirational campfire programs, and opening reflections each morning at beautiful Campfire Point.
