Scouting Out The Camp Summer Overnight Girl Camps

Scouting Out The Camp: Summer Overnight Girl Camps

Camping can be a wonderful experience for children who are old enough to enjoy the outdoors. Generally, young girls who are eight years of age or older are deemed old enough to be away from home and enjoy the camping experience. In addition, if a family feels that the young lady is old enough for an extended period of time spent at a camp, the family may want to consider a summer overnight girl camp experience for their little girl.

Therefore, if considering a summer overnight girl camp it is important to take into consideration a number of factors. Specifically, those factors include the camp’s reputation and the curriculum or experience that is offered.

The Camp’s Reputation

First of all, before registering the young lady in your life for any summer overnight girl’s camp experience it is important to know more information about the camp that is being considered. Specifically, it is important to know about the camp’s reputation.

That research on the camp’s reputation should include research on their safety practices, how they hire their staff, the quality of the leadership, whether there have been any camping complaints registered against the camp, etc. In addition, it is important to know if they are part of any accreditation system.

Generally, an accreditation system inspects the camp, their policies and adherence to certain criteria. Once this inspection process has been accomplished they are then issued a certificate of accreditation. Specifically, one of those accreditations could be from the ACA or the American Camp Association.

Experience Offered

Also, it is important that the summer overnight girl camp experience is one that is memorable and provides a quality experience. Therefore, it is important to know what types of activities will be conducted during the summer overnight girl camp.

Specifically, a summer overnight girl’s camp adventure is a camping experience offered to young ladies. Generally, the recommended age group for a camping experience ranges anywhere from 8 to 17 years of age. Specifically, this camping experience is called a summer overnight girl’s camp because the campers do not return home at the end of the day, but stay in a cabin or other type of shelter during the night hours.

Generally, some of the most common camping experiences offered at a summer overnight girl’s camp include horseback riding, swimming, canoeing, working on crafts, etc.

Additionally, this may be the first overnight experience away from the home and family. Therefore, this may be a traumatic experience for some young ladies. However, despite the potential of being homesick, the young child is generally able to cope and therefore helps to begin their maturity process.
