CREW

Two-Week Program: Ages 14-17
Weeks 5 & 6, Sunday, August 1-Saturday, August 14 $1890
We’re excited to introduce CREW, a program specifically designed for teenage campers. Our goal is to provide tangible life skills that campers can use at home, at school and in the community. This select group of leaders will participate in some camp activities, and will have their own schedule that includes uniquely designed projects, activities, and hands on learning, including:
  • Learning by doing; leadership focus will include self awareness, social awareness, peer relationship building, and positive goal setting.
  • Event planning and hands on practice organizing and leading large group activities in camp.
  • Specialized performing and visual arts activities.
  • Two offsite trips will be offered, pending Department of Health transportation requirements this summer. We hope to spend a day at Splish Splash Water Park in Calverton and travel  to the high ropes elements at the Adventure Park on Long Island. If that's not possible, we promise to come up with two fun alternatives!

To Apply:
We have limited space for this program. CREW participants will be selected based on a handwritten letter answering these 3 questions:
  1. Give an example of a time you made a meaningful contribution to a group. Be specific; what happened and what did you do to make a difference?
  2. How do you see using your strengths to be a role model at camp?
  3. What would you hope would be your takeaway from CREW?

Mail your handwritten letter to: 
CREW
Quinipet Camp & Retreat Center
PO Box 549 
Shelter Island Heights, NY 11965

To indicate interest; register for Summer 2020 CREW through our online registration beginning January 1, 2021. Once we've received your letter of interest, campers will be notified of selection and can complete the online registration.
