Why Send Your Child to Summer Camp?
There are so many reasons for kids to attend camp. Here are just a few things your child can gain from camp:
Trying New Things: Exploring your backyard, neighborhood or city is fun and important, but there are lots of games and activities at camp that you just can’t do at home! Kids get to try group activities or games that are unique to camp.
Meeting New People: Kids get to meet campers from all over. The special environment of camp where kids are socializing outside of their school or neighborhood friend groups creates camaraderie and leads to lasting friendships.
Challenging Themselves: Not everything at camp will be easy! By enduring setbacks and pushing themselves in a nurturing environment, kids gain resilience and experience the reward of achieving something.
Appreciating Nature: Taking a break from what’s familiar to get in touch with nature is a great way for kids to grow and learn. Being surrounded by fresh air and natural beauty gives kids a refreshing, fulfilling experience they can't get indoors.
A Break from Technology: going to camp is a great way to limit screen time and keep kids exploring and enjoying the great outdoors. Days at camp are filled with stimulating and exciting activities to help kids live in the present moment and have fun doing it.
Learning New Skills: Not only will kids learn how to do new activities, sports, crafts, music, and games, being with a group of new people will teach them life skills like independence, cooperation and tolerance.
Being Active: Getting out and exploring with all the games and excursions at camp is a great way to have fun while exercising, and a healthier alternative to hanging out at home all summer.
Having Fun: Of course, the most important part about coming to camp is having fun! Your kiddos will come home from a day at camp with tons of exciting stories to share. Whatever their age or interests, we’ve got a camp for that!
