Overnight Camp

Some of childhood’s best memories are made at overnight camp, where young people learn the mysteries of the wild and the excitement of spending time on their own. When you send your son or daughter to a sleep away camp like Camp Walden, you’re giving your child a valuable gift, one that your child is likely to remember for life.

At overnight camp, your child will have the chance to make new friends, participate in a range of activities, and experience life “away from home” and in an exciting and stimulating new environment. Spending unbroken time at camp gives young campers a real sense of life in a different and challenging environment and encourages life-long bonds of friendship between campers undergoing this shared experience.

These experiences build character and give your child a chance to grow. Studies have shown that choosing an overnight camp provides children with a richer and deeper experience than day camps, and any parent can tell you that it can be a positive experience for the adults staying home, too!

Overnight camp is an investment in your child’s future, enriching his or her appreciation of the natural world and teaching important life skills. Too many kids grow up without experiencing the night sky free from the glare of the city’s electric lights, seeing the stars and the Milky Way in all their sparkling glory. The experience of spending both days and nights at an overnight camp like Camp Walden provides a unique opportunity to commune with nature and experience the rhythms of the natural world in its full range.
