Sneak
Peek at the Camper Enrollment Data for
Summer 2007
Thanks to the
620 camp directors that went online to
complete the Summer 2007 Enrollment survey,
we have a picture emerging about the
numbers of campers and staff in camps
this summer. While a full article will
appear in the 2008 March-April issue
of Camping Magazine, here are
a few "teaser" findings.
When asked to compare the Summer of 2007
to 2006:
- 53 percent of the directors
said their total enrollment was higher
(and 23 percent of them said it was higher
by >10 percent)
- Boys enrollment
was higher in 39 percent of the camps
and 45 percent higher for girls
- 64
percent of the camp directors said their
camper return rate was about the same
as last year while 23 percent said they
had more returning campers. Staff return
rates were similar with 50 percent of
the directors indicating about the same
return rate as last year, while 23 percent
said they had more returning staff than
in 2006.
- Directors indicated that
it was more difficult to get staff this
summer (27 percent) or about the same
(51 percent) than last year.
Stay tuned
for more detailed findings about enrollment
trends from the perspectives of sponsorship,
type, and region.
