Overnight Camps in Harrisburg & West Shore: For Kids Who Are Ready to Camp Like Champs
Is your child ready to trade their cozy bed for a sleeping bag and your dinner table for a campfire feast? Overnight Camps in the Harrisburg and West Shore area offer the ultimate summer adventure, complete with independence, confidence-building experiences, and a whole lot of fresh air.
These camps are perfect for kids who are ready to unplug, stretch their wings, and dive into immersive experiences that go far beyond daytime fun. Think hiking under the stars, tackling ropes courses, learning outdoor and leadership skills, and bonding with new friends over s’mores and campfire stories.
Overnight camps help kids build resilience, independence, and lifelong memories in a supportive, structured environment. And while they’re busy exploring, learning, and growing, parents get a rare bonus. A few nights of quiet, uninterrupted sleep and maybe even time to finish a whole book.
Ready to send your kid on an adventure they’ll never forget? Let’s find the perfect overnight camp where they can learn, grow, and make memories that last long after summer ends… while you enjoy some very well-earned downtime.

Sponsored Camp Wood Haven
Discover a summer where confidence grows, friendships form fast, and every day feels like an adventure. Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania’s Camp Wood Haven is the kind of place where girls in grades 1-12 unplug from screens and plug into nature, creativity, and leadership in a way that feels exciting—not forced.
Imagine waking up in a tree house, Conestoga wagon, or Adirondack cabin to fresh air and birdsong, then spending the day exploring wooded trails, trying new outdoor skills, creating hands-on crafts, and laughing around camp with a supportive community. Camp Wood Haven overnight programs blend classic camp magic with purposeful growth, helping campers build independence, resilience, and teamwork while still having the time of their lives. Plus, Wood Haven is known for its top-quality equestrian programs!
Here, girls don’t just participate, they belong. With caring staff, age-appropriate activities, and an environment designed to build confidence, campers leave with more than memories. They leave with stronger voices, braver hearts, and friendships that last long after summer ends.
Ready to give her a summer she’ll never forget? Come to Camp Wood Haven - for all girls, not just Girl Scouts!
