Comfort Camping -
a Rein Teen Tours Tradition
Camping on a Rein Teen Tour is a great way to make new friends. All of our Camping/Dorm/Hotel tours begin with camping. Placing 5-6 teenagers in a tent makes it very easy to meet new people and make new friends during the first few days of your tour. For the first 2 camping stops, Rein Teen Tours will assign tent mates to ensure that everyone has an equal and fair chance to meet new people. After those first few stops, you will be allowed to choose your tent mates (as well as hotel and dorm roommates) at each new stop.
Campgrounds:
Our campgrounds are located in scenic areas often surrounded by mountains, canyons, rivers and lakes. Campgrounds feature 24 hour security, bathrooms with private hot showers (we have time to shower every day), electricity, athletic facilities, swimming pools, game rooms and convenience stores.
Tents are 10' by 16' cabin style tents with windows and floors. We will place 5-6 teenagers and 1 same-sex counselor in each tent. Teenagers sleep on individual camping cots, with self-inflating Thermarest air mattresses for a comfortable night's sleep.
Camping Meals are prepared by our teen tour cook who is responsible for the purchase and preparation of fresh food every day while camping. Our teenagers have fun getting involved with the preparation of our fun camping meals. Each tour travels with large grills, stoves and refrigeration. Teen Tour members give input into our daily menu. Whether you are a vegetarian, have food allergies or you are a very picky eater, we can accommodate all special eating and dietary needs, and we will provide delicious meals for you.
Our Equipment truck is specially designed for Rein Teen Tours and travels with the tour. It carries all of our camping equipment and includes air mattresses, cots, tents, propane lanterns, all of our cooking equipment and a variety of sports equipment.
