summer camper

Outdoor program participant

A summer camper is a young person who attends a residential or day camp during summer vacation, participating in outdoor activities, crafts, sports, and group experiences.

The term emphasizes the temporary, seasonal nature of the experience—kids go away as campers and return home at summer's end.

My daughter is a summer camper at a place in the Adirondacks.

Summer campers often form lasting friendships and memories during their weeks away from home.
