Summer camp, especially for children, is very popular in the United States. So where are summer camps in Sweden?
This is the first time we have started asking around about this subject. We have learned about two official camps, as well as an organization that offers summer camps at some of its sites. We hope we can find more!
Here are the camps we have found:
Barnens Ö
Barnens Ö hosts camp sessions for grades 1-9 at various campsites around Sundsro, a coastal community about an hour and a half drive from the center of Stockholm.

There are 4H sites throughout Sweden that offer different programs. Some offer summer camp sessions for children, but you must contact the specific sites to see what they offer.
