Overnight recreational and vacation camps provide multi-day or multi-week stays combining lodging (cabins, fixed campsites, or bunkhouses), meals, and organized activities. Operations can range from traditional children's summer camps with counselors and structured programming, to adult hunting and fishing camps with guided trips, to outdoor adventure retreats offering white water rafting, trail riding, or wilderness trekking. Staff typically includes counselors, activity guides, food service workers, and maintenance personnel, with seasonal operations being the norm for many camps.
