Summer Camps for Teens Lakeland Winter Haven (2)

Summer Camps for Teens (12+) in Lakeland + Polk County 

We are here to help you find summer camps for those hard to find age groups, including preschoolers and TEENAGERS!

It seems there are plenty of camps for elementary age kids, but we’ve also tracked down local camps for the older age group in middle school and high school to help you find summer camps for teens near you.

If you’re looking for a summer camp in the Lakeland or Winter Haven area for your son or daughter age 12 and older, this list is for you. There is no set theme for these camps, other than the ages they cover – summer camps for teenagers and summer camps for pre-teens.

**Be sure to check the listed ages for each camp. Some summer programs for teens only include a portion of the middle school and high school age group**
