There are many different options for your days off. There are towns and cities nearby where you can shop, eat, see a movie. A wide range of outdoor activities such as hiking and swimming are also available in these areas. Some camps are close to tourist destinations such as New York, Boston, and Los Angeles
.

Generally, staff members receive six days off during the course of the summer. Each camp has a specific timetable for when days off begin and end. Your day off may begin mid-afternoon and conclude the next day around the same time or it may begin before seven in the morning and continue until midnight that night. Either way, there are always other staff members with the same day off.

Many staff members bring cars with them to camp and will invite others to join them. In some cases, rides or cars are available to get to town or the nearest bus or train. Sometimes, there are organized staff trips to exciting tourist destinations.
