Down East Teen Leadership Camp (DETLC) is Healthy Acadia’s annual, five day residential summer camp program for teens entering grades 7 through 9.
DETLC offers five action-packed days filled with games and team-building activities, amazing motivational speakers, daily workshops focused on social issues that are important to you, like tackling peer pressure, substance use, embracing diversity, and more.
The 2024 session of DETLC is set for July 22-26. Though the per-camper cost of DETLC is approximately $750 per camper, we are limiting tuition to just $295 per camper, and offering significant scholarships based on need. We believe that every teen who wishes to participate in the DETLC experience has the opportunity to do so. Scholarships and camp costs not covered by camper fees are paid for through community fundraising, local sponsorships, and grant funding. Your monetary gift, in any amount will help to ensure that DETLC continues to serve as many youth as are interested, regardless of financial need.
