Should my twins go to the same sleepaway camp?

Most twins do best at the same camp in different cabins. Take the 8-question quiz on this page to see what fits your twins.

What if only one of my twins is ready for camp?

Send the one who is ready. Plenty of families add the second twin a summer later.

Same Camp or Not? The Twin Camp Quiz

Every twin family asks me some version of the same question. Do we send them together or not?

I can't meet your kids from here. But I've put a lot of twins in a lot of cabins. These are the questions I'd ask you on the phone.

Eight questions. Takes a minute. You'll get a straight answer.

1. Do both twins want to go to sleepaway camp?
2. Are they boy-girl twins?
3. At a birthday party, what do they do?
4. Does one twin do the talking for both?
5. Has either one said they want their own thing?
6. How much do people compare them? Grades, sports, who's taller.
7. Have they slept away from home without you?
8. If one had a rough night at camp, what would the other one do?

How This Works

There are three answers.

Same camp, different cabins. What most twins do best with.
Give them real space. At least one twin is asking for a summer that's their own.
Send the one who's ready. They're not ready on the same day, and that's fine.

If your twins are boy-girl, you'll also get a note about brother-sister camps.

It's a starting point, not a test. You know your kids better than a quiz does.

About My Camp

I own Camps Kenwood & Evergreen, a brother-sister sleepaway camp in New Hampshire. Twins at our camp are in the same age group and different bunks. Each twin has their own counselors and their own check-in call. In the first week, you get one update that covers both kids by name.

Twins at Camps Kenwood & Evergreen. Same age group, different bunks, every time.
