15,000 attend Manitoba Summer Camp

Member Camps of the Manitoba Camping Association have finalized their camper calculations for the 2007 summer and we are pleased to report that more than 15,000 children & youth enrolled in a summer camp session this past summer. Approximately 20,000 spots are available on an annual basis - thus representing a camp capacity over 80%.

A further analysis of the information provided by MCA Member Camps indicates that nearly 54% of all campers are female and 46% are male. Statistics were reported for ages 6 through to 18 years of age and indicates that the largest number of campers fall in the 10-12 year old range group and account for nearly 38% of all campers. Approximately 900 children attended camp at the age of 6. This percentage increases within each age group and then begins its downward trend at age 13. Approximately 10% of all campers fall into the 15-18 year age bracket.

Statistics for grouping by male & female show similar trends within their respective age group in relation to the combined overall statistics.
