The Very Best Way for Kids to Spend the Summer
3

• 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.

4

• 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.

5

• 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.

6
Build Physical Strength and Stamina
7

• Texting and video gaming do little more than work
  out your childs thumbs, and all of that extra
  energy never gets dispersed. At camp, kids enjoy
  days that are packed with physical activity.

8

• Canoeing, wakeboarding, hiking and rock climbing
  are all just normal things for campers to do on a
  beautiful summer day.

9

• 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.

10
Build Physical Strength and Stamina
11

• Sure, going to camp for the first time is hard,
  and homesickness is a real thing.

12

• 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.

13

• As kids progress through the different levels of
  camp, they also gain confidence from helping
  younger campers adjust to the new routine.

14

• 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.

15
Develop a Talent
16

• 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.

17

• 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.

18

• 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.

19
Form Lifelong Friendships
20

• During the school year, kids spend the majority
  of the day with children from their neighborhood.

21

• While it is great to have local friends, going to
  camp can expand a childs opportunities to
  appreciate diversity.

22

• 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.

23

• When the school doors close for the summer,
  children look forward to several months of
  freedom.

24

• However, it is important to make sure those long
  summer days are filled with wholesome activities
  that stimulate their minds and bodies.

25

• Keeping your kids busy throughout the summer is
  easy with camp activities that encourage your
  kids to conquer challenges and build greater
  self-esteem.

26

• If you're considering sending your child to an
  overnight summer camp, be sure to visit our site
  to learn about Camp Walt Whitman.

27

• Located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire,
  Camp Walt Whitman offers a safe, nurturing
  environment in a beautiful mountain setting.

28

• Our camp is a coed sleepaway camp, with separate
  areas for boys and girls. The kids have a blast,
  and make friendships that can last a lifetime.
