Some 'traditional' Summer Residential Camps are literally ALL SUMMER LONG, one session, from mid-June through early August -- hence the word 'residential'. Of course, many other resident camps offer multi-sessions, too.
Many Residential Camps are designed for families, or have several Family Camp Sessions over the summer. Other resident camps are just for kids and teens.
Because the term 'Resident' has come to have several different meanings, it's best to talk to each camp so you know exactly what to expect.
For instance, the core programming of some residential camps revolves around outdoor camping and wilderness adventure activities, like hiking, climbing, and canoeing. Other resdient camps focus more on the visual and performing arts, from theater to film making, to dance, to pottery.
Part of what makes our 2025 Resident Camp Directory unique will be the inclusion of RESIDENT CAMP VIDEOS within the camp descriptions.
