Summers should be an idyllic time in childhood when a child has the opportunity to stretch out of their comfort zone and reach their full potential.
Yet, finding healthy ways to keep your kids engaged during the summer months can be one of the most challenging parenting tasks you face, especially if you work during the day.
If you are tired of hearing those whines of boredom or listening to the constant drone of video games playing in the background, then here are just a few of the reasons why camp is the perfect way for your kids to spend their summer break.
Texting and video gaming do little more than work out your child’s thumbs, and all of that extra energy never gets dispersed. At camp, kids enjoy days that are packed with physical activity.
Canoeing, wakeboarding, hiking and rock climbing are all just normal things for campers to do on a beautiful summer day.
By the end of the summer, kids are not only stronger, but they also understand how to direct their energy toward positive activities that enable them to learn new skills.
Sure, going to camp for the first time is hard, and homesickness is a real thing.
However, those nervous feelings usually only last for a short time, and kids feel a major sense of accomplishment after they complete their first week.
As kids progress through the different levels of camp, they also gain confidence from helping younger campers adjust to the new routine.
Additionally, spending a few weeks away from home helps children to enjoy greater independence while still being surrounded by a support network of friends and camp counselors.
Do you have a budding actor or perhaps an avid guitarist? These early childhood interests can often turn into lifelong hobbies and even careers when kids are given the tools they need to explore their strengths.
The summer months offer a chance for kids to explore their interests while unimpeded by academic studies. For this reason, summer camps are full of programs dedicated to the arts.
Putting on a play, performing with a band and making pottery are all creative endeavors that can allow your child to tap into a talent.
During the school year, kids spend the majority of the day with children from their neighborhood.
While it is great to have local friends, going to camp can expand a child’s opportunities to appreciate diversity.
Experiences such as learning how to work out differences with members of their Cabin Group and singing around the campfire help children to form long-lasting friendships with peers from all over the world.
When the school doors close for the summer, children look forward to several months of freedom.
However, it is important to make sure those long summer days are filled with wholesome activities that stimulate their minds and bodies.
Keeping your kids busy throughout the summer is easy with camp activities that encourage your kids to conquer challenges and build greater self-esteem.
