This study combines primary survey data collected from camp operators across the country alongside rigorous camp records research to provide new insights and data about the camp industry. Through this work, we developed new approaches to scope and describe the industry and have identified areas for additional research and continued data collection efforts.

Included in this report is new and expanded data and analysis across four main areas. 

1. The number and distribution of camp operations identified across the country and in each state 
2. Findings on the finances, employment, and program offerings of camp operators in the United States 
3. Insights into the contributions of seasonal camp employment to the development of key workforce skills and competencies 
4. The economic impacts of the industry in each state and at the national level
