Benefits of Summer Camp
Summer camp is such wonderful experience that I strongly believe everyone should have! I have learned so many things from summer camp and established so many values from summer camp as well. Summer camp provides children with opportunities for personal growth, building self esteem, and teaching teamwork. At most summer camps children are able to grown personally by being pushed out of their comfort zone to try new things that they wouldn’t have access to on a regular day at home and facilities to help children push themselves.

Overnight Camp
Sleep away camp is another option of summer camp. I believe a child gains more from an overnight summer camp than a day camp.

On top of a structured daily schedule similar to day camp schedules, over night camps include, evening activities, cabin bonding time, overnight nature trips, and many more team building activities that children aren’t usually exposed to.

As they grew up they moved on and started working there, in these days they were hired at just the age of 15. My mother had me when she was 21 years old so camp was still a huge part of her lives and it soon became a part of mine. Most of my mom’s closest friends attend or worked at this summer camp. I was five years old when I first stepped foot on the property. I don’t remember…

Goals
Hi everyone, Welcome to this page ! My goal is that this site is used for parents to help decide if they should send their children to summer camps: Which types of camps, activities, camp values, and so much more! All camps are unique in their own way and it’s important that you know what you are looking for in a camp before you decide on one.
