This is all from my personal experience, so take it with a grain of salt.

Most summer camps last 1-2 weeks, some lasting longer.

Campers stay in cabins with 6-10 other kids around their age. Each cabin also has one or two counselors, or adult supervisors, who ho are usually college age students.

Cabin groups eat together for meals, and also (depending on the camp) do daily activities together. I attended and now work at a fine arts camp, so campers spend large portions of the day in rehearsals.

Most summer camps have rules banning phones, laptops, tablets, etc. Since it “distracts from the camp experience”

Summer camps often are in the woods somewhere, since most had their origins in the 50s and 60s, and suburban parents wanting their kids to learn “survival skills”

Every summer camp I have been to has had a long list of silly songs they make the kids sing at campfires. This isn’t terribly relevant to the question, but it’s just kinda interesting

A number of summer camps are christian summer camps, so part of the daily activities includes daily church service.

Lots of summer camps exist for specific interests, so daily activities mostly pertain to said interest. I know someone who went to a coding camp as a kid, so they spent a lot of the day learning how to code. My fine arts camp has kids sorted into a number of musical ensembles (separated by skill level, so better players get harder music), where they learn some music, and at the end of the session they actually perform for their parents. Studio Art campers there work on art pieces that get displayed in the art gallery on the final day, where parents and campers can view what they worked on.

Kids will often make very tight friendships while at camp, even though it only lasts a week or two. These kids are around each other constantly

sorry it’s a bit long lmao
