Sleepaway Camps

Sleep away at these camps, from across Ontario, Quebec and the rest of the north

Sleepaway camps are also popularly known as overnight camps or even residential camps. A sleepaway camp allows children to fully immerse themselves in the camp experience, eating breathing and sleeping camp life and activities. This kind of immersion offers many benefits including any or all of the following:

Many "city kids" feel disconnected from nature. According to some, this disconnection is a big part of our current problems with the environment and climate change brought on by human actions. Camping with others in the deep woods can deepen children's appreciation of the natural world.
Children at camp deepen the bonds of friendship and gain confidence in their ability to find and build new friendships.
Sleeping away from home can help children to appreciate the many amenities and conveniences offered by home and by city living - things they might otherwise take for granted.

Get all the right advice on finding the right sleepaway camp here.

Our Kids has been covering the world of overnight and sleepaway camps for over ten years, on both this website and in Our Kids go to Camp, an annual magazine. You can check out our camp website for advice and articles - or search for sleepaway camps by activities or location, using our camp search engine. As one other alternative, camps.ca is growing as a web authority on the world of overnight summer camps (and any traditional camps, in fact).
