Description
Summary:Several clientele characteristics worth noting included: * Gender-exclusive camps were less popular than coed experiences. * Resident: girl only was 23 percent and boy only was 14 percent * Day: girl only was 7 percent and boy only was 5 percent * Resident and day camps serve similar economic levels. * High income: 47 percent resident and 51 percent day * Middle income: 73 percent resident and 80 percent day * Low income: 43 percent resident and 39 percent day * Poverty: 25 percent resident and 18 percent day Camps predominately served Caucasian campers, with day camps serving slightly more minorities.
