Teen Reach Adventure Camp

Teen Reach Adventure Camps (T.R.A.C. Aloha) are three-day, positive, faith-based camps nestled in the foothills of Mt. Hood. Our camps are specially designed for youth ages 12-15 residing in foster care in the Portland Metro. Campers will experience the outdoors while learning teamwork and participating in swimming, archery, low ropes course, and fun activities that improve trust and self-value and create lifelong memories. Ultimately, they will learn how much God loves and cares for them.

2025 CAMP DATES

Girls Camp • July 1-3

Teen Reach Adventure Camps are:

  • Biblically-based

  • Single-sex

  • Three-day camps

  • Trauma-informed

  • Ages 12-15

  • Key daily activities: CrossTalk (chapel) & Challenge Course (team building)

  • Each camp focuses on safety by providing a unique ratio of one camp counselor to every two campers. Rather than being co-ed, each camp is single-sex to promote a greater level of comfort between staff and campers.

  • Volunteers are thoroughly screened and trained. And each camp has a nurse and a licensed social worker or mental health professional (behavioral specialist) who are available to meet the needs of campers.

  • Every youth is offered complete confidentiality. No volunteers will take photos, other than the camp photographer who will take pictures for individual camper photo albums. AlI T.R.A.C. promotional videos/pictures will be edited for confidentiality.

  • Campers explore the wilderness, enjoy outdoor and water activities, make crafts, and participate in a low-level challenge course designed to build self-respect, teamwork, trust, and communication while having fun. Through encouragement and quality time with each teen, volunteers at T.R.A.C. strive to give campers a sense of hope that the past doesn't have to define the future.
