Short answer
No; accommodation should be chosen according to the student's age, independence and overseas experience. Day camps, travelling with a parent or staying with relatives may also work; choose according to age, independence, transport and care arrangements.
Detailed answer
Residential camps suit students who want a full campus experience and have greater independence. Self-arranged accommodation or parent-child programs may be better for younger students or first-time overseas participants.
Residential camp can provide a fuller group-living experience and evening activities, but it may not be the best first step for a child who has never stayed away from home, has limited language ability or needs more support. Day camp leaves accommodation and transport to the family.
Compare overnight staffing, room and bathroom arrangements, curfews, medication storage, emergency contacts, weekend activities and early-departure procedures, not price alone.
