A Guide to Summer Camps Abroad
Prepare for Summer Camp
Understand the benefits
We don’t think there needs to be much of an explanation for the benefits of participating in a summer camp program abroad that you love, but here are some basics that everyone will walk away with!
- Unique bonds and friendships. Every step of the way you’ll be making new connections, and those that are alongside you in the program are the ones you can share it with.
- New experiences. Going abroad, you can always expect to encounter at least one new experience but the ones found in summer camp programs are special. They are designed with campers like you in mind and offer some really exceptional happenings.
- Personal growth. With all the talk of new experiences, there’s no way that you won’t personally grow during your time abroad. Some of it may be intimidating but trusting yourself enough to partake will change your life for the better.
Things to know
Although summer camp is mostly fun and games, there are some major things to know for anyone planning on participating in a program. Below are the basics to keep in mind as you plan for your trip.
- Visa and paper requirements - Most programs require a visa, so check with embassies, airlines, and the program itself for the latest requirements and documentation you’ll need to have a smooth experience.
- Language skills - Be aware of any language requirements for your program. Learning some basic phrases can ease introductions and help you navigate, and you may even find communities where your language is spoken.
- Cost and logistics - Plan for the cost of living, including groceries, transportation, and other daily expenses, as not all programs cover these costs. Pack light—it’ll make travel and settling in easier.
- Health and safety - Follow all health and safety guidelines of your destination, get recommended vaccinations, and stay conscious of local regulations and smart daily habits to stay safe.
- Cultural and social etiquette - Learn about common greetings, social expectations, and potential faux pas; these courtesies can vary widely and help you integrate smoothly.
Choose a Location
A good starting point is to consider your priorities, whether it is an activity you wish to complete, a climate, a geographical region, or a specific language or culture you want to experience and begin narrowing the field for your summer camp abroad with some key foci.
Iceland
If wildlife is high on your list, check out summer camp opportunities that include whale watching in Iceland. In the land of fire and ice, there’s a lot more than just wildlife to see! Even though it’s not the best season to experience the Northern Lights, there are still opportunities to catch a glimpse during the shorter dark evenings. Beyond the outdoorsy activities, there are plenty of hot springs and pools to relax in between camp activities.
South Africa
In contrast, if you’re craving cultural and community interactions, maximize those opportunities through summer camps that involve coaching sports to low-income communities. South Africa is an incredible place to experience new social experiences with an incredible and robust community. There’s plenty of time to explore all of the scenery, markets, and adventures available.
France
If you’re looking for something a little more low-key than either of the other options consider the romantic cityscapes and countrysides of France. Whether you’d like to teach, be inspired by landscapes and people, or something in between this cultural hub is a must. Stick to the cities, countryside, coastal towns, or a great combination of all three.
Getting Started

4. Apply
After you’ve applied to some exciting summer camp options, a program coordinator will contact you with more information. Just head to the program page of your chosen camp and click “Inquire Here” or “Apply Now” to get started.
5. Get your essentials
Once all of that is finished, and you’ve been accepted into a summer camp program, it’s time to apply for your passport and visa, book your flight, and buy travel insurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is summer camp?
A traditional summer camp for young campers typically involves fun activities in the morning and stories in front of a campfire at night.

It could also be educational or academic and open to participants across different age groups.
How much does summer camp cost?
The average cost per person per day of a day camp is $178, while for sleep-away camp is $448. On the other hand, a specialty camp can go from $260 up to $2,900 per week depending on the theme or activities. Fees typically include the use of facilities and amenities, meals and snacks, transport service, activities, and housing.
What do you do at summer camp?
The activities involved in a summer camp depend on the organization or provider and the main theme. Generally, participants enjoy outdoor sports and activities, arts and crafts, music, and life skills. Perhaps, the most common activity is gathering around a campfire at night.
What to bring to summer camp?
Always remember to pack light when preparing for camp and pack from the top down. The list should include headgear, clothing, footwear (broken in and stretched to the shape of the feet), gear, bed, toiletries, and bath. All items should have labels.
