Let’s get the day thing out of the way with regards to outdoor pursuits.
Camp is the place in the outdoors where you play and sleep. If you don’t sleep there, it’s called day camp. There is no such thing as (or pressing need for there to be) a sleepaway camp. It’s a redundancy as we already have a perfectly good word for the place in the outdoors where you sleep … it’s camp. I’m not sure how sleepaway camp ended up in the English language. Continual infantilization of language maybe.
