The Benefits of Choosing a 3 Day Summer Camp (Ages 8–11)
If your child has loved the buzz of day camps, you might be wondering what’s next. A 3 day summer camp could be the perfect next step.
Designed especially for children aged 8–11, a 3 day summer camp offers all the fun of day camp — with an exciting overnight twist. It’s a chance to build confidence, gain a little independence, and enjoy the great outdoors with new friends by their side.
What is a 3 Day Summer Camp?
At Educamps, our 3 summer day camp runs over two nights and three days, giving children just the right amount of time to experience staying away from home — without it feeling too long or too far.
Children sleep in shared rooms at our residential base in the countryside at Foxlease Park, surrounded by open space, woodland, and a whole world of outdoor adventure.
Each day is packed with high-energy activities like climbing, watersports, raft building, bushcraft, archery, and more — all led by our experienced, friendly team.
Why It’s The Perfect Next Step
If your child has already been to day camps, they’re likely used to trying new things, meeting new people, and having fun in a supportive environment. A 3 day summer camp simply builds on that — offering the added excitement of an overnight stay, a little more independence, bigger, more adventurous activities.
What Children Take Away From It:
- Confidence: Trying new activities and staying overnight helps children grow in ways you can’t always replicate at home.
- Friendships: There’s something about bunk rooms, team challenges, and shared experiences that bring children together fast.
- A break from screens: Our activities are screen free — giving children time to reconnect with nature and get a digital detox.
- Independence: Small moments — like making their own bed or choosing what to wear for specific activities — help children build decision-making skills in a low-pressure setting.
- Resilience: Whether it’s climbing a wall or getting through a team obstacle course, camp encourages children to keep going, even when things feel tricky.
