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. |
