Teen Camp | Ages 13-17 | July 28th-August 1st

Camp Daley is having a Teen takeover! For the first time we have a whole week at our main campsite just for teens, where they can enjoy a week unplugged in the outdoors, without the rigorous side of Wilderness! Without phones and electronics, your teen can reconnect with activities they enjoy, strengthen relationship building with peers, get moving and simply relax.

Encouraging Kids in a Safe Welcoming Environment is our Aim

Camp Daley is a Christian Camp. As such, there are encouraging faith-based elements throughout the camps, such as worship songs and bible stories during campfires, and prayers before meals. All children are welcomed and included regardless of their beliefs.

Where is camp located?

All campers are transported from The Salvation Army East County Red Shield to Camp Daley in air-conditioned charter buses. Camp is settled in Malibu Canyon near Tapia Park. Note that Camp has not been impacted by the recent fires in LA county.
