10 Reasons to Choose the Best Summer Camp for Your Kids If you are considering summer camp for your children, you may be wondering if it’s the right fit for their personalities. Perhaps they’ve never spent so much time away from you, or maybe they have special interests and you are worried they will feel out of place
Why You Should Select a Summer Camp Program for Your Children • Camp Is a Place for Fun • Social Skills Are Nurtured • New Interests Are Developed • Kids Learn Independence • Kids Get a Break from Technology • Their Growth Is Fostered • Healthy Living Is Encouraged • Children Develop Self-Esteem • Strong Friendships Are Nurtured • Kids Learn to Respect Differences
Camp Is a Place for Fun Summer camps are where children can let loose and have fun in a controlled environment. Most camp activities focus on providing a good time to kids while helping them learn something new.
Social Skills Are Nurtured Camp is a community away from home and school where kids learn to work with each other and their counsellors. There they build relationships and learn to manage conflict. They also learn to be sensitive and support friends. All these skills help them to become adults with strong character and leadership qualities.
New Interests Are Developed Your children may end up discovering new interests that may surprise you. These may include pottery, gardening, cooking, or the arts.
Kids Learn Independence Pre-schoolers who go to summer camp need to make decisions without the help of parents. They gain independence and self-sufficiency as they may even be responsible for waking up and getting ready on time for breakfast and other activities. And, even if they have a camp counsellor waking them up, they will still need to get ready on their own and be on time for different activities that they will take part in during the day.
Kids Get a Break from Technology Unless they’re going to a computer camp, most camps have rules where children are not allowed to use their (smart)phones, tablets, et cetera. This is a great way to get children to be more active. This break from technology allows them to communicate directly with others and develop their personality.
Their Growth Is Fostered Summer camp takes children out of their comfort zones and pushes them to try new things, as well as explore their already established interests. In general, they will leave camp with a stronger sense of identity and a better idea of what they love. This experience may help them choose a career path.
Children Develop Self-Esteem Campers have the opportunity to achieve, whether it is to catch a fish or create their first painting, in a less competitive environment than school. Achievement is the main ingredient in self-esteem.
Strong Friendships Are Nurtured Kids may meet others with similar interests in a relaxed setting at camp and make new friends with different backgrounds. Children bond over their camp experience, the challenges they face together, and the fun they have free from media distraction. The results are genuine and enduring friendships.
Kids Learn to Respect Differences In summer camp, campers learn to work with other children to accomplish common goals, whether it is to build a shelter or win a baseball game. While engaged in a variety of activities, they may be exposed to different viewpoints and opinions. This teaches kids to accept that not everyone has their same perspectives or beliefs.
