Long Session Growth

Friendships take time. In shorter camps, kids often bounce between groups, hoping they get lucky enough to land with the same crew the next year. At Kenwood & Evergreen, groups stay the same summer after summer. That continuity means bonds deepen — within a single season, and across years.

Habits also take time. Real habits: talking face-to-face at breakfast, smiling at friends across the field, making your bed every morning. Those don’t stick after a week. The longer a child spends immersed in camp life, the more natural those habits become.

And let’s be honest: it takes more than a few days away from screens for kids to fully reset. Three weeks is when you see the shift. Six weeks is when the change becomes part of who they are.

That’s why a long session is not just “more camp.” It’s the depth that makes friendships last, confidence stick, and independence real.
