Title: Summer Camp is for Everyone

Summer Camp is for Everyone
Just like fun and sun is meant for everyone, so
are summer camps. That said, just like no one
size fits all, so does the summer camps!
Confused? Don't be! Summer camps mean different
things to different people. While some parents
send their kids to camps to be resilient and
build confidence, there are others who deem camps
as a place for their kids to learn new crafts and
skills. Dear parents, it's important to
remember that a camp isn't just an important
developmental tool alone. And it isn't alone
meant for kids wanting to build confidence or
learn a few crafts. Rather, it is for children
from every walk of life. Summer camp is for
everyone! Regardless of where a child comes from,
the benefits of camp can be great. It's easy
for the parents to be skeptical about things,
given that children from different backgrounds
and situations, congregate in a camp.Given the
disparity, parents often worry how can their kids
benefit from the same experience, but each and
every one of them can grow into themselves in a
camp environment. Camp Navigator jots down how
every child can benefit from a camp, regardless
of their situation or social standing. Read
on Camp provides the perfect milieu for a
child to learn to make decisions, important and
unimportant. It teaches
2
them to socialize and interact with others and
resolve conflicts peacefully. It helps them
develop critical-thinking and important
leadership skills things that every child needs
to blossom into independent, confident and mature
adults. Parents often worry that, over the
summer, their children will forget the things
they learned in school. While kids do forget some
part of things taught in a school year during a
vacation, most camp provides programming that
keeps a childs brain active, alert, and
acquiring knowledge and skills, which reduces
learning loss. And it is not only a childs brain
that is kept active at summer camp they keep
their bodies active as well. Exercise is simply
part of the fun of the day at camp. Programming
such as hiking, soccer, and canoing allow
children to truly enjoy being active on a daily
basis. Between exercise and exposure to nature,
which is proven to reduce stress, improve mood,
and stimulate all of a childs senses, children
return home mentally and physically well, perhaps
more so than upon their arrival at camp. During
a summer at camp, a child begins to understand
what it means to be part of a community. Living
in a group setting and sharing team experiences
teaches kids how to work together, care for each
other, and find their voice within the group.
Camp is a safe place away from home, and having a
strong and supportive community around encourages
a child to engage in positive risk-taking.
Children realize that they are in a judgment-free
environment and begin to step out of their own
comfort zone, taking both physical and emotional
risks they may never otherwise take. They ask
questions, try new things, and become active
participants in their own lives. All of these
new encounters become the driving force behind
burgeoning self-confidence, self-sufficiency, and
self-reliance. Suddenly, children are discovering
skills and strengths they never knew they
possessed and are getting their first taste of
success and achievement. Adults know very well
the feeling of confidence that arises from
accomplishing something. It is important to
remember that many children are experiencing this
sense of accomplishment on their own for the very
first time at camp, something that may not have
happened at home or school. ?Mailing
