Teens & Twenties
Independence, Socialization, Fun |
|
Teens and Twenties thrive on the sense of belonging that comes with being part of a group. Friendships help to build self-confidence. At ARC of Rockland, we provide the well supervised settings in which teens and twenties enjoy the company of peers while engaging in activities designed for social, emotional and educational growth.

| Two groups of campers ages 9-12 and 13-21 will appreciate the great outdoors with an array of activities from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday. The six week summer camp experience features lake and pool swimming, boating, archery, nature classes, hiking, basketball, volley ball, soccer and other sports, as well as arts and crafts on the grounds of Camp Bullowa in Stony Point, NY. Weekly trips include destinations such as the Liberty Science Center in Jersey City, NJ; Old Museum Village in Middletown, NY; the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, CT; plus bowling, movies, horseback riding and many more places with teen and youth appeal. Connections that begin at Club ARC last the whole year through. Door-to-door transportation provided. |

This group meets twice monthly on Saturdays or Sundays to provide respite for busy families and a day of enjoyment and adventure for young people ages 12-21. Travelers gather at ARC Headquarters in Congers before setting out together for an area museum, bowling, the movies, live theatre, the planetarium, snow tubing, the Bronx Zoo, dance classes at a local dance school, a sports center, lunch or dinner in a restaurant among other events and destinations. What could be better than good friends enjoying good times together while Mom and Dad get a break in care? |
|
| When school is out, the fun begins. Five days of action and activities take place three times yearly during school vacations. Participants ages 12-21 meet at ARC’s Prime Time for Kids Learning Center before heading out for sites similar to those enjoyed by weekend Teen Travelers. There is always a stop for lunch at a local restaurant where teens find time to dine and socialize. |
|
Monthly gatherings and parties at ARC Headquarters in Congers or at locations elsewhere in the county have teens dancing in the aisles. Pizza, potato chips, music and conversation are part of the package. Theme parties follow the course of the year with New Year’s heading the list. Halloween features costumes; St. Patrick’s Day means a wearin o' the green. A Sunday bowling league and pool parties are popular new additions. |
|
|
| Karaoke, movie nights, dances, holiday bake-in, a Sunday bowling league and a drama club are among the activities geared to young men and women transitioning from the teen years to adulthood. |
