General Notes About Camps in the State of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania is the sixth most populous state. A significant number of summer day camps and arts related youth programs such as music camps, acting camps, and fine arts camps are contained within the more urban setting of the states' major metropolitan areas: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Erie, and Allentown. Likewise, the mountainous and forested region of the Poconos to north of Scranton house a large cluster of sleepaway camps and other residential summer programs. While most of the state is inland, a small portion of the northwest section of the state borders Lake Erie and houses several large rivers such as the Allegheny, Delaware, Susquehanna, Monongahela, and the Ohio.

The climate of most of the state is generally humid with warm temperatures in the summer months - generally very suitable for summer camp activities.

Pennsylvania boasts a number of historical sites and landmarks such as Gettysburg, Valley Forge, the Liberty Bell, the site of the Continental Congress, as well as a number of colleges and universities such as Lehigh and Penn State ... making for an excellent setting for academic camps.

Youth who are interested in the study of wildlife during camps for summer may encounter various critters and plant life in The Keystone State, including: deer, bears, otters, wild turkeys, white pines, American chestnut trees, and perhaps even a rare Long-eared owl!
