In the greater Philadelphia area, there are more than just day camps to send your children to. Overnight camps allow kids to spend time away from home and develop critical independent and leadership skills while making friends in the process!

Summer camps range in activities (religious, sports, general camp, academic, etc.), price ($180 and up) and age (6-17).

The camps also vary in duration, with some camps lasting two nights all the way through camps that last the whole summer, such as Rambling Pines Teen Camp in Hopewell, NJ.

It is important that children feel comfortable in their overnight camps and have a memorable experience , whether that means a week on their own or 8 weeks.
