Choosing a camp in North America
North America has one of the world's longest-running summer camp traditions, with the United States and Canada offering an especially wide range of formats and specialties — single-sex, co-ed, residential, day, and camps built around everything from outdoor skills to a single sport. For families outside the region, camps here also offer immersion in English or, in parts of Canada, French, alongside the confidence-building and independence that a structured camp environment is known for.
The destinations on this page extend beyond the US and Canadian mainland to the Caribbean and Central America, adding warm-climate residential options in the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica alongside the more traditional lake-and-forest camps further north. The ranking below reflects camps with verified parent reviews, updated as new bookings and reviews come in.
