If you’re looking for some fun summer plans for your child, consider summer camp! Attending camp is a great experience for all kids and it benefits them in so many ways!
From learning new special skills to expanding their horizons, camp is a must for all kids. Today, we’ve compiled a list counting down our top 5 reasons why you should make sure that your child attend summer camp this year!
5. Learn New Things
At summer camp, your child will be exposed to new skills and experiences! They will also be surrounded by new friendly faces and will learn a lot from just meeting new people. Camps can focus on skills that aren’t always covered in a school curriculum and a child’s mind shouldn’t stop learning just because it’s summer break! At photography camp, kids will get to learn all about using their cameras and will come back home with work that they are proud of. And who knows, they might discover a new favourite hobby!
4. Gain Confidence
It’s important for children to be experience things on their own and summer camp is a great way to explore that. By being placed in a group with other kids that they don’t see at school every day, your child will have to open up to a brand new group of people in a really fun and stimulating environment. When they spend their days using their new skills to work on new projects, they will end the day proud of the work that they completed. Your child will learn to confidently present their work and show off their new skills!
3. Get Creative
At camp, kids play with creativity and are challenged to think outside the box. When at our photography camps, kids will get to explore new environments as they go on field trips to take photos in brand new places. It’s very important for kids to have a creative outlet and that skill will always be beneficial to them throughout their lives and their future career, no matter what field they choose to go into! Attending a camp that focuses on the arts is a great idea because school curriculums don’t often have a heavy focus the subject, so exposing children to new forms of creative expression is really beneficial to their development of the skill.
2. Make New Friends
Help your child continue to expand their social skills. At summer camp, children get to see new faces for the first time since they started attending their school. Learning a fun new skill together is a great bonding exercise and your child is sure to become fast friends with their fellow campers. When kids are given the opportunity to make friends in a brand new environment, their social skills will vastly improve and that is a vital skill for them to carry throughout their lives.
1. Have Fun
Summer camp is supposed to be a fun experience for everyone! Your child will get to have fun with other kids while learning a new skill and that is definitely a great summer experience. This is a perfect break from school and homework, but will still challenge your child to expand their horizons and grow in new ways. Your child will come home every day with stories to tell and incredible memories that they have forever. Once your child goes to summer camp, they’ll always want to go back because of all the fun that they had.
