7 Unforgettable Sleepaway Camp Experiences for Kids
"Each summer 300 campers, from the ages of 11 to 16, gather in the foothills of Yellowstone National Park for a 30-day adventure. The camp, set on 2,300 acres of land and surrounded by protected lands, offers kids a chance to find their grit—every camper completes a backpacking trip and a horse pack trip during their stay—and hone their appreciation for the history of the American west. City kids are in for a treat with wildlife that can include elk and moose in the area. Alongside developing horsemanship, campers spend time fishing, climbing, hiking, and participating in Sunday rodeos. And, of course, stories and songs around the campfire are the norm."
