Hey, I think overnight camp is a great experience for any age kids. I had the youngest kids(aged anywhere from 6-9) in my cabin this past summer and the overnights helped them llearn responsibility, independence and many other skills that will help them grow and develop. It is true that some got homesick but they were able to overcome this and become a little more independent. The homesickness leaves and they are truly happy they were able to overcome this problem
