WHAT TO DO
TYPES OF CAMPS
There several types of camps in the USA and every camp may be unique and vary depending on location, environment, activities, facilities and campers. All the camps GEC works with are carefully vetted and share our high standards, as well as those of the American Camp Association (ACA) The majority of GEC Camp USA participants are placed in traditional camps, which can be co-ed or serve only female or male campers.
Most common types of camps are;
- Sports Camps
- Religious Summer Camps
- Gender Specific Camps
- Fitness Camps
- Scouting Camps
- Special-Interest or Themed Camps
- Special-Needs Camps
- Day Camps
Regardless of camp type, all camps share the same common goal- to provide a safe, fun and rewarding experience for every camper.
