Day camps also known as summer camps in some areas, are recreational programs designed to provide children with a fun and enriching experience during the summer or school breaks. Unlike residential or overnight camps, day camps operate during daytime hours, allowing children to participate in various activities and return home each evening. These camps offer a wide range of supervised activities, fostering socialization, learning, and personal growth in a safe and supportive environment. Day camps can be booked by the day or by the week, or month depending on the institution organizing them. Programs are typically available for kids ages 3-17, but the specific age range can vary depending on the camp's focus and structure. The most popular ages for summer day camps are typically ages 5-10.
