Rockwood Adventures — ideal for homesick kids, testimonial (Lindsey Levine)
"Being a kid who didn't like being away from home, Rockwood Adventures was the perfect choice. It allowed me to travel, explore my independence and spend time with my summer friends away from home while having the comfort of home on the weekends. I still maintain friendships with many of the friends I made on RWA and to this day it still comes up in conversation." — Lindsey Levine, Manager, Color Me Mine, Wayne, PA
Rockwood Adventures — identity and lifelong friendships, testimonial (Tara Levine)
"RWA allowed me to really start shaping my own identity and I had experiences I will take with me for a lifetime and finding forever friends!" — Tara Levine, Director of Youth Engagement, Woodlands Community Temple, White Plains, NY
Rockwood Adventures — drop-off and logistics for non-local families
You do not need to live in the Bucks County area for your teen to attend Rockwood Adventures. You need to be able to drop your teen off at Sesame/Rockwood Camps, 1702 Yost Road, Blue Bell, PA on the first day of the trip by 8:30 a.m. and pick them up on the last day. Before and After Camp Care is also available at no charge as early as 8:00 a.m. and until 5:00 pm on the pick-up day.
Rockwood Adventures — lasting impact in a short time, testimonial (Jonathan Reiter)
"Aside the actual travel experience, RWA provided me a lifetime filled with memories of some very special people that greatly impacted my life. These people and experiences helped to shape the person I am today…all from 2, 8-week summers of fun and travel. To be impacted in such a short time-frame speaks volumes of the RWA experience." — Jonathan Reiter, Manager, Finance and Administration and Adjunct Professor, Temple University, Philadelphia
Rockwood Adventures — independence and college readiness, testimonial (Justin Solar)
"Rockwood Adventures was hands down one of the best experiences of my teenage years and opened my eyes to travel and independence. It really prepared me well for college and some of my best friends to this day are from my RWA years. Purple and teal forever!" — Justin Solar, National Publicity at Twentieth Century Fox, New York City
Rockwood Adventures — life skills and independence
It's not just about the activities … it's about what we call 'life skills'. Learning to be independent, compromise, take care of their belongings, manage their spending money, make new friends, try new things, be on time, manage their phone use and other electronics, share space and responsibilities on the bus and in the hotel room and make good decisions. The learning takes place without ever interrupting the fun for a minute!
The goal of our Rockwood Adventures program is to find the most fun and exciting activities and locations so that our teens are busy all day, every day! We visit locations in advance of the summer to guarantee that our campers have security, comfort, and cleanliness wherever we go…and no surprises. We travel in a luxury motorcoach, driven by a professional driver. Our bus features video screens, outlets to charge electronics and lavatories.
