Jersey City is a bustling area for families. We noticed that while there are many lists of summer camps and organizations designed for toddlers to tweens, it is challenging to find information regarding programs for teenagers.

We spent a lot of time vetting and curating a list of the TOP 10 programs (listed below in alphabetical order) for Jersey City area teens to take part in this summer. This list consists of art, athletics, leadership and even academic based programs.
