This is a test entry about the subject of summer camp. There are all sorts of summer camps in the United States. Some are affiliated with religious organizations or other organizations such as the Girl Scouts.

The two main types of summer camps are day camps and overnight or sleepover camps. Day camps usually offer a half-day or full-day program for younger children, similar to a school day. Overnight or sleepover camps allow children to get out of the city and stay in a camp ground for a weekend, week, multiple weeks, a month, or the whole summer. Days are filled with activities such as sports, crafts, hiking, swimming, and rest time. Some camps hold religious services, as well.

Overnight camps serve meals; day camps may serve snacks or meals, but often families are responsible for sending their own food. Some camps have policies prohibiting nuts, peanut butter, and other allergens on campus.

Pricing for camp can vary widely. Some camping experiences are provided free of charge or at a very low cost, especially to low-income families. Other camps can range cost several hundred dollars per week or several thousand dollars for a month or more of camping time.
