While only 12% of kids in the United States attend overnight summer camp programs, it’s still a popular topic among young readers. Whether or not they attend summer camps, kids love to imagine being away from home without their parents and all the hijinks they could get up to with that newfound independence. Middle grade books about summer camps often explore friend drama, first crushes, and self-discovery. Kids solve problems without adult supervision and go on their own adventures.
From a camp centered on Black history to LGBTQ+ and monster camps, these five novels explore all the drama and personal growth that can happen at summer camps.
