Have you ever wondered why some children return to school after summer break more matured and ready for a new school year?

 

The child who attends summer camp is opened to new adventures while making new friendships and developing crucial life skills.

The environment at summer camp creates an opportunity to keep children off screens for a whole day while they learn new things, build new skills, self-esteem, confidence, independence and much more.

 

Campers interact with peers from different backgrounds, learning to share, resolve conflicts, and collaborate in a safe, supportive space. Children are also challenged to make decisions free of parents and they also build a stronger sense of their own identity.

 

A good camp is often structured to explore hobbies like the arts, STEM, or outdoor survival that kids might not encounter during the school year.

While summer camps come at a cost to parents, the benefits to children out-weigh the price tag.

The child who spends summer on screens, eating and sleeping is likely to regress in their studies and unmotivated for the new school year.

We try to list some of the well structured summer camps that can be beneficial to children, but remember, you must choose a camp that is suited to your child and that will expose them to things they might want to try.

Let this be a summer of fun and learning for your child!
