There is no perfect age to start overnight camp—it’s when your child is ready for the experience. Some children are ready by age eight. Others at age ten or older. Your child should be able to take care of certain things independently such as showering, brushing their teeth and feel comfortable sleeping out of the home. Your child should also be able to express an interest in overnight camp and feel excited about the experience. This doesn’t mean there won’t be any nervousness as camp approaches but there should be an interest.
