An Introduction to Overnight Camp

Growing up, many of my friends attended day camps (usually soccer camps to improve our skills at the game we all loved) but few went to overnight or residential camps. Why? I suppose because their parents never went.

I was lucky because my best friend attended an overnight camp and raved about it. My parents, being new to Canada, wanted to integrate us as quickly as possible, and agreed to send me. I loved it, and that’s why I think the newly announced partnership between Camp Tamakwa (an overnight camp) and Adventure Valley Day Camp is a great way to introduce day campers to the overnight camp adventure.

Beginning this summer, Camp Tamakwa will host a group of eager young campers from the Toronto day camp for 4 very special days in August. Day camp staff will come up to Camp Tamakwa’s Algonquin Park camp with a select group of campers, ensuring the transition is comfortable and easy for young kids. It’s a new step in providing new Toronto area campers a few days at Tamakwa combining the best of both day and overing camps for them this summer and for summers to come.

Do you send you child to a day camp? Have you thought about an overnight camp experience? Would you consider a short overnight stay with campers and staff your child is already comfortable with?
