Summer Camp Guide 2003
Part Two: Residential Camps
Sleeping bag? Check. Walkman? Check. A duffel full of T-shirts, etc.? Check. Now all you need to do is select the overnight camp that will add a little excitement to your child’s summer (and a little relaxation to yours).
Many sports camps have sleep-over options (see listings below), and a host of outdoor and adventure camps are available, as well. Many are surprisingly close by.
A round-up of area camps offering day programs follows the residential listings. Check the display ads in this section for further information.
