If you’ve ever been to summer camp, you know it can have profound benefits that still have relevance to you today as an adult and are something you would want for your kids.
However, if you’ve never experienced what it’s like to be at a camp, you may not realize its positive benefits and how it can help mold your kids into a complete person.
It is where they can learn how to deal with people, develop trust and confidence, work with them, and build healthy relationships.
Ultimately this will lead to the overall development of their emotional intelligence and people skills.
The foundational principles of patience, humility, independence, and resilience, just to name a few, can be learned at camp.
The summer camp counselors, acting as the children’s mentors, can help mold them into a responsible, law-abiding citizens.
Parents who let their children go to camp during the summer have reported that their children have become more caring and responsible upon their return home.
At camp, children are given opportunities to spend most of the day outdoors doing activities like running, biking, swimming, hiking, or climbing.
As most kids spend more time indoors with their video games these days, outdoor physical activities can be a breath of fresh air, literally.
With many diverse non-competitive encounters and social activities, camp life offers a sense of accomplishment for kids every day.
Kids get to take a break from technology while at camp. They meet real people, do real activities, and go through real experiences.
Summer camp counselors will make sure there will be a hiatus from TV, cell phone, and Internet use so the kids can rediscover the real world.
With the right instruction, facilities, and equipment, campers can improve certain aspects of themselves.
You might be pleasantly surprised to learn that your kids have discovered they have artistic talents in music or arts, sports abilities, or outdoor adventure skills.
Given the camp’s encouraging and nurturing atmosphere, kids are cheered to stand up every time they fall.
This teaches them to conquer their fears and remove their doubts of themselves as they try new things, tackle obstacles, and rise above setbacks.
In the case of disagreements, peaceful conflict resolution and sincere communication are highly encouraged.
