Organized camps represent substantial investments in property and facilities, generate $400 million in wages, and serve over 11 million individuals.

Camps vary in size, ranging from a tent camp with a few acres of land to a camp (or in some cases several camps on one site) with many buildings and thousands of acres of land. Capacities ranging from 50 to over 500.
