Ever wonder what summer camp in America is like? It’s like a giant playground mixed with a sleepover and a nature adventure—all rolled into one!

Most camps happen in the great outdoors. You might stay in a cabin with bunk beds and kids your age. You get to do tons of activities like archery, swimming, arts and crafts, canoeing, and even silly talent shows. Some camps have special theme days—like Pajama Day or Superhero Day—where everyone dresses up and gets silly!

One of the best parts of camp is making new friends. You spend your days playing games, eating meals together in a big dining hall, and laughing around a campfire at night. Campfires are a big deal! You might roast marshmallows, sing songs, or tell spooky (but not too spooky!) stories.

At night, you crawl into your sleeping bag, listen to crickets, and dream about tomorrow’s adventures. Some kids go to sleepaway camp, while others go to day camp and go home in the evening.

Either way, summer camp is a magical place where you can try new things, learn cool skills, and have tons of fun. So pack your bug spray and get ready for campfire fun!
