15 Affordable Summer Overnight Camps near Charlotte

Last year I started researching overnight summer camps and had a difficult time finding any that were affordable. This year I started to gather a list of ones I found that were under $1000.00. At the time, many of these still had openings at some age groups but please note that could have changed. 

I will admit that I thought maybe my  boys were too young last year when they went for their first overnight summer camp. I may have shed a few tears while my house was eerily quiet that week. However, my kids had the best time. It was a great experience for them in so many ways. They are very much looking forward to doing another camp this summer. Hopefully I can tough it out again.

These options are listed in no particular order and are filling fast!
