Big Lake's RAD (radical) camps are specifically designed for 13 - 17 year olds. These teen oriented camps allow kids to focus on a specific activity, maximizing their time to improve skills and develop deeper bonds. Some RAD camps take place on-site with campers staying in a Big Lake Youth Camp cabin at night, while others take place off-site and campers get the added bonus of a fully supervised camping experience. Many RAD camps do require that campers have a good level of fitness and will require a strong interest and commitment to the chosen activity. If campers are only interested in "exploring" an activity, signing up for the
corresponding REG camp activity may be advisable.
