But these camps originally arose to address a deeper anxiety held by parents, leaders and reformers, who worried about the character development of children and sought to use these places as training grounds for good American citizens.<\/p>\n<p>One of us, Seth, currently works as a summer camp director. But we\u2019re both scholars of geography who see summer camps as important educational spaces outside the traditional classroom. At camp, young people practice living with others, encounter people from different backgrounds and create community together.<\/p>\n<p>At a time when Americans disagree deeply over the meaning of citizenship, belonging and education, summer camps remain places where values and visions of America as inclusive or exclusive are communicated to young people.<\/p>\n<h2>From urban refuge to national ritual<\/h2>\n<p>American summer camps date back to the mid-19th century. The first organized one is often attributed to educator and outdoorsman Frederick W. Gunn, who founded The Gunnery Camp in Washington, Connecticut, in 1861. There, boys were encouraged to march, fight, hunt, forage and live in the outdoors like soldiers.<\/p><div><div><\/div><\/div>\n<figurlazyload>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Young boys and men pose for a group photo in front of a canvas fly.\" class=\"wp-image-3329\" height=\"601\" src=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/94727c9e3e554b039f933d48c17fda86.avif\" width=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/94727c9e3e554b039f933d48c17fda86.avif 754w, https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/94727c9e3e554b039f933d48c17fda86-300x239.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption>Campers at The Gunnery Camp, which was founded in Connecticut in 1861. Letters from Charley Goodyear\/Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption>\n<p>Other summer camps soon planted flags of their own. In 1874, the Young Women\u2019s Christian Association hosted its first summer camp in New Jersey, with other youth organizations such as the YMCA, the Boys Club and 4-H, a federal youth development program, following suit.<\/p>\n<p>With more and more families settling in cities in the second half of the 19th century, camps gave kids a refuge from the oppressive heat, rancid smells and grinding noise of summer in the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMuscular Christianity\u201d also rose to prominence during this period. Its proponents championed a masculine vision of faith that emphasized physical discipline, character-building and experiencing the rugged outdoors. Embraced by prominent figures, such as President Theodore Roosevelt, the movement helped shape the philosophy of early American summer camps.<\/p>\n<p>The summer camp scene really began to take off in the early 20th century. The establishment of the Boy Scouts of America and the Girl Scouts of the USA in 1910 and 1912, respectively, added to the growing list of camps available for American youth.<\/p>\n<p>Summer camps declined in the 1940s due to World War II, but they bounced back stronger than ever in the 1950s, \u201960s and \u201970s, especially as membership surged in youth organizations, such as the Boy Scouts of America.<\/p>\n<figurlazyload>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Girls of all races wearing colorful outfits pose with an older man wearing a suit in front of a sign reading 'Camp David.'\" class=\"wp-image-3330\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/6b84f0aff79f87d75e0589e5db8975f7.avif\" width=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/6b84f0aff79f87d75e0589e5db8975f7.avif 754w, https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/6b84f0aff79f87d75e0589e5db8975f7-300x201.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption>U.S. president Richard Nixon poses with a group of Girl Scouts from a nearby summer camp in 1973. Bettmann\/Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<p>Since then, however, the number of kids in these youth organizations has decreased. The reasons include competition from year-round youth sports competitions, scandals involving youth organizations, including the Boy Scouts, and the rising costs of attending camps.<\/p>\n<h2>Camp as character development<\/h2>\n<p>Despite their dip in popularity over the past few decades, summer camps continue to have a significant economic and cultural impact.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Gallup poll, roughly 30 million American youth attended summer enrichment programs in 2024, which includes day camps, summer schools and sleepaway camps. The American Camp Association has found that the youth camp industry contributes US$70 billion annually to the U.S. economy.<\/p>\n<p>Amid classic activities, including swimming, hiking and craft-making, summer camps have long played a larger role as a nationalistic ritual. Flag lowering and raising ceremonies, reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the singing of patriotic songs remain mainstays at many summer camps today. At camp, children often learn about patriotism, discipline, cooperation, leadership and self-reliance.<\/p>\n<p>At Canyon Camp, a Scouting America summer camp in Northwest Illinois, Scouts have the opportunity to earn merit badges such as \u201cAmerican Heritage,\u201d which can involve learning the racial and ethnic history of your hometown, and \u201cCitizenship in the Nation,\u201d which involves learning about the three branches of government.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/?p=3326\">Chipotle\u2019s COO takes employees to dinner every week to spot his next leaders\u2014here are the 4 traits he\u2019s seeking<\/a><\/p>\n<p>During summer 2026, campers can also earn a  by completing tasks such as giving a speech on \u201cone right I won\u2019t take for granted\u201d and virtually visiting a historic site from America\u2019s founding era.<\/p>\n<figurlazyload>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"People of all ages in beige uniforms stand in a line in a green field on a sunny day before an American flag on a pole.\" class=\"wp-image-3331\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1c2c8ad3163ce225b78c14dcc600ea67.avif\" width=\"754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1c2c8ad3163ce225b78c14dcc600ea67.avif 754w, https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1c2c8ad3163ce225b78c14dcc600ea67-300x169.avif 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/figure>\n<figcaption>Scouts, leaders and staff stand at attention for a flag-lowering ceremony at Canyon Camp in Stockton, Ill. Canyon Camp<\/figcaption>\n<h2>Who gets to be a camper<\/h2>\n<p>Summer camps \u2013 and the ideals they communicated \u2013 were never neutral. Race, class and gender have historically shaped who was welcomed.<\/p>\n<p>The summer camps of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were primarily for white, Protestant, middle- and upper-class boys from Northeastern cities. The summer camp movement gradually expanded to include different regions, classes, faiths and genders. For example, the first Jewish summer camps emerged in upstate New York at the turn of the 20th century; they sought to assimilate campers into American life and encourage civic participation.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, Black communities formed summer camps during the Jim Crow era, such as Camp Atwater in Massachusetts, to provide a refuge from segregation and racism, promote racial pride and give kids the opportunity to develop leadership skills.<\/p>\n<p>Interracial summer camps, while not widespread, did start to crop up in the mid-20th century. In 1943, Black photographer Gordon Parks documented two of those summer camps \u2013 Camp Nathan Hale and Camp Gaylord White \u2013 in New York state. His images of Black and white children playing, eating, working and raising the American flag together showed how summer camp could promote a new set of national values.<\/p>\n<figurlazyload>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"A Black boy stands on a dock and helps lift a white boy out of the water.\" class=\"wp-image-3332\" height=\"291\" src=\"https:\/\/crosscountrymovingteams.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/13e9996a80f3533969d89682c7ce3cee.avif\" width=\"237\"\/><\/figure>\n<figcaption>A boy gets a helping hand from a fellow camper on the lake at Camp Nathan Hale in 1943. Gordon Parks\/Heritage Images via Getty Images<\/figcaption>\n<p>But camps proved slow to racially integrate, even after the monumental civil rights victories of the 1960s. In 1965, when the American Camping Association adopted a nondiscriminatory, interracial policy, 125 members resigned in opposition. Southern 4-H programs, even while receiving funds from the federal government, hesitated to desegregate their camps during this period.<\/p>\n<p>A summer camp divide still exists. A 2024 Gallup poll found that Black, Asian and low-income children are less likely to participate in summer camps. Additionally, 32% of parents shared that their children did not attend summer camp due to cost considerations. To this end, children from wealthy families are overrepresented.<\/p>\n<h2>Camp and the culture wars<\/h2>\n<p>Today\u2019s summer camps are not all explicitly nationalistic, nor do they all teach the same values. Scout camps, faith-based camps, camps for LGBTQ kids and camps for children with physical or mental disabilities differ in their missions.<\/p>\n<p>What unites them is the belief that camps can help mold character and instill the values children will carry into adulthood. Yet these values have become contested terrain in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>When Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth demanded that Scouting America \u2013 formerly Boy Scouts of America \u2013 shed all diversity, equity and inclusion practices and redouble its efforts as an organization that \u201cdevelops boys into men,\u201d he underscored how even seemingly apolitical institutions have become battlegrounds in America\u2019s culture wars.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that young women and girls had been welcomed into the organization since 2019, Hegseth seemed to want to restore an older view of Scouting and summer camps, one centered on masculine ideals of ruggedness, individuality and muscular nationalism.<\/p>\n<p>To us, this rhetoric is not simply an innocent expression of nostalgia. It seeks to define what it means to be a good American and a good citizen \u2013 and who should be included in this vision.<\/p>\n<p>As the summer season continues and the nation will soon celebrate it\u2019s 250th birthday, we think it\u2019s a fitting time to reflect on the role that summer camp plays in reinforcing ideals of what it means to be an American and which values ought to be promoted \u2013 and we believe this matters more than ever in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><em>Seth T.
