Summer Camp Can Help Children Learn New Skills & Meet New Friends

While at camp, children stay active physically and learn new things. They participate in activities that can include sports, theater, science, dance, academics, STEM, and more—all the while experiencing new learning adventures. Most camps offer diverse outdoor adventures that ensure children are active such as running, jumping, swimming, rowing, hiking, and horseback riding. They can come away from camp with a new hobby or life passion they might not otherwise have found.

Children learn independence while attending a summer camp. They practice making decisions for themselves without parents and teachers guiding them. They gain freedom to move in new directions by managing their daily activity choices in a safe, comfortable, and happy environment.

Summer camp introduces children to new life-long friends. Camp is a place children can be who they are, a place away from the pressures of school and trying to fit in because most camp activities are group activities where no one is excluded— singing, playing, talking, and laughing.
