Enrollment Trends

Enrollment continues to rise

Each summer more than 11 million children and adults take advantage of the camp experience. In a 2006 Camper Enrollment Survey, over 40% of camps reported an enrollment increase of 4 to 10 percent or greater.

Female campers account for 55 percent of total enrollment while male campers account for 45 percent.

The most popular session length is one week or less, although the majority of independent camp operators offer four, six, and eight-week sessions.

Over 70% of camps report that over half of their camper population was comprised of returning campers.
