Generally, we do not split groups by age; we keep all the campers together. We’ve found that this approach works well, allowing older campers to be positive role models for the younger ones and fostering a supportive environment. We also have junior camp counselors who assist and mentor the older campers.
However, for certain activities, we may split the kids by age or skill level when it helps ensure everyone is involved and gets the best results from the lesson or activity.
