Why go to camp?

For Burlington parents, here’s a brief glance at the benefits of sending kids to camp.

Camp increases social connections. For many kids, time at summer camp is the place where important, sometimes lifelong, friendships begin. A number of aspects unique to kids’ camp — the freedom, the fun, the openness of being outdoors — make it entirely different from school, socially. Kids are there more by choice than they are in school, and this increases the chance of finding like-minded friends.

Exposure to nature. It's a world where our closeness to nature dwindles constantly and some argue is more critical than ever. If you want to increase your children’s eco-awareness, there are few ways better than to send them to camp. This is especially true of camps in Muskoka or Algonquin Park. Time outdoors also has demonstrated positive effects on mental wellbeing.

Simplify life. Many camps implicitly teach simpler living and offer an important change of pace. This can include short term removal from the world of social media overexposure and binge-watching.

An environment that encourages healthy living. From physical activity to fresh outdoor air, camp brings home to kids that being active can be fun. There is no doubt that some camps give kids a full day, but they'll know that activity, interacting with others, just moving around has been good for them. It will just feel good!

Improved character and self-esteem. Camp exposes kids to many activities where they develop important soft skills like cooperation, teamwork and leadership development. Kids interact in a variety of groups, often by design, and in each scenario, kids can take on different roles and learn new things about themselves.

Hard skills. Many of the camps linked to above offer training and education in areas that will be increasingly important career opportunities in the future. Time at camp developing skills has great value and can even be included in a resume. In some cases, exposure to specific learning and lessons at camps can be life-changing.

Fun. Pure playtime - anything from soccer scrimmaging, to wet fun in a splash park, to playing gaga together - is good for kids in and of itself. Kids let go of stress and laugh together. It’s as beneficial and necessary as oxygen and fresh water. Really, do we need to explain this?!

You can also take a longer look at the benefits of kids' camps.
