Middle Childhood — The Adventurers
 

Their world

  • Becoming more of an individual, exploring likes and dislikes, expressing particular personality traits
  • Developing specific interests (sports, music, drama, computers)
  • Friendships become increasingly important, as does socializing in groups
  • Developing a more sophisticated sense of right and wrong, understanding codes of behaviour

Their concerns

  • How they compare with others
  • Question rules and structures
  • Looking for role models outside of family

What camp offers

  • A chance to test out a wide range of activities and also to focus on specific interests and talents
  • A supportive environment in which to take on physical, emotional and intellectual challenges
  • A safe place to explore capabilities and limitations
  • Promotes the setting of appropriate boundaries
  • Encourages children to take responsibility for their own actions
  • A chance to make new friends outside of home or school
