There are some camps that offer programs just for boys. Some see boys' camps as offering an opportunity for boys to learn and challenge themselves in an environment, where they are not distracted or competing for the attention of girls. This is particularly important during the teen years. Boys' camps allow boys to interact with older strong male role models.
Some parents find that their boys gain certain kinds of confidence during a week or two with males only.
At boys' camp, your son will learn to take on responsibilities and tasks and engage in sports and other activities with "the guys."
There are boys' camps that offer programs for a range of ages, from the shy kid to the gangly teenager. A quality boys' camp can offer important and positive influences in a young man's life. There are traditional residential camps that are boys only, as well as sports or wilderness camps. Whatever the focus, boys' camps aim to help build confidence and develop important life skills on the journey to manhood.
Check out our directory of boys' camps below. You are also invited to take a look at our sister site's list of boys summer camps (at camps.ca).
