Great Facilities!

With over 150 acres of woodlands, lakes, streams and fields, Hazen offers one of the greatest locations for a summer camp.

Adventure Team (A-Team) - for Campers entering 7th & 8th grade

Everything that Day Camp has to offer and more!  A-Team campers can expect to hone their climbing skills on the Alpine Tower, go mountain biking, try their hand at sailing and even hit the skate park.  Once a session, A-Teamers will spend the night in platform tents at their base camp, roasting marshmallows and sleeping under the stars.  This is the program for you if you are into the next level of Day Camp adventure.  The schedule and fees for the Adventure Team are the same as for regular Day Camp.
