When is a child old enough to go to an overnight summer camp?  | | There are summer camps galore out there for children of all ages and every conceivable interest. Many of the camps, especially for younger children, are day camps. Other camps may be overnight for a week-end, 3 days, or even a week or two at a time.
Should a child attend day camps before attending his first overnight camp; is 8 years old too young for an overnight camp; or does the decision just depend on the particular child in question?

Stringbean (1094) | 3 years ago | Ten sounds about right to me, too. Eight, unless the child is pretty social already may think he or she is ready but really miss Mom and Dad more than he thinks he will.

Stringbean (1094) | 3 years ago | We took a friend of my daughter's camping once and she cried almost all night long the first night away. Guess it does depend mostly on the individual child.
