Camp Fit Guide

The best camps for sending multiple siblings.

The short answer

The right camp for siblings is one where the camp itself is the shared experience and the cabins are not. Kids need their own world inside the larger story. Brother-sister camps and big single-sex camps both work for this. The setup that does not work is the one where the older sibling becomes the younger one's babysitter.
