Why Summer Camp Is A Good Thing For Kids

There are so many reasons why summer camp is a good thing for kids. Kids spending too much time on the internet, playing video games or watching TV result in them experiencing less time engaging in actual conversations or participating in physical activity during the year. It’s become even more important for parents to provide opportunities for their children so they can get outside in nature, challenging themselves and bonding with other kids in a setting that is safe and that emphasizes support. Here’s some reasons summer camp is a good thing, and why going to camp can benefit your child:

-Summer camp provides unplugged time with fun recreational games and activities in a safe and encouraging environment

-Summer camp is where your child will be experiencing and learning to appreciate nature and the outdoors

-Summer camp is where kids have the chance to work together side by side supporting and being supported by peers. They’re aren’t many opportunities in life where kids can experience extended amounts of time together and create and build special bonds, feelings of independance and confidence.

-Summer camp provides the opportunity for meaningful time spent with positive young adult role models. Counselors provide friendship, guidance, encouragement and support, and an example for young campers.

-Most importantly, kids discover their true worth and potential, gain confidence through positive friendships, gain new life skills and grow passions. This is re-enforced every summer at camp, and becomes part of who they are and becoming a better person.
