    The benefits of summer camp

    With its vibrant landscapes and community, Richmond, BC is the perfect place to send your kids to camp. Here are some of the many benefits of sending your child to camp this summer:

    Spend time outdoors. Richmond has some of the country’s most stunning parks, trails, and lakes. Sending your child to camp gives them the opportunity to create deeper connections with their city and the environment. Learning and playing in these settings teaches children to appreciate the natural world. This can spark an interest in sustainability and environmental activism within kids. Spending time outdoors also improves campers’ mental health.

    Experience a boost in confidence. By participating in the many activities that camp has to offer, your child is bound to find something that they’re passionate about or good at. Finding talents, setting goals, and acquiring new skills improves the way your child sees themselves, increasing their self-esteem. Additionally, making unique social connections at camp gives kids and teens extra support. They find friends with similar interests, experiences, and backgrounds. 

    A way to build character. Building foundational character traits is essential for kids. Qualities built at camp include resilience, respect, independence, and patience. These traits differentiate between camp types, also. For example, overnight camps deepen children’s independence and responsibility. Growing these traits at a young age sets campers up for future success in both academic and professional settings.

    Where diversity is embraced. Richmond’s population is three quarters visible minorities, and kids connect easily with each other at camp. They gain cultural awareness. Diverse populations at camp help everyone feel supported and understood. Summer camps in Richmond are also LGBTQ+ friendly, allowing kids and teens of all orientations and genders to be together in a non-discriminatory environment. 

    Selecting the best Richmond camp

    Finding the best camp for your child shouldn't be stressful. Here are guidelines to finding the right camps in the city. 

    First, camps are either ‘specialised’ or ‘multi-activity’ camps. At specialised camps, your child focuses on perfecting skills in a single activity, while multi-activity camps are varied, ranging from sports activities to technology activities and more. Specialised camps appeal to kids who know where their passions and interests lie. Multi-activity camps are flexible and experimental. 

    Day camps dominate the landscape. They make learning fun through collaboration, socialization, and use of fun tools and materials. Introverted, shy children typically find day camp enjoyable, as they grow social skills during the day while getting “down time” in the evening. Richmond day camps equip kids and teens with skills to succeed personally and academically. 

    Virtual programs in Richmond are also offered, while being a more convenient option for families. From the comfort of your own home, and with minimal set up, virtual camp helps kids and teens acquire the same skills they would at in-person programs. The social element of in-person programs are not lost at online programs. With advancements in technology, such as breakout rooms, kids and teens are still able to share their work and make new friends.

    In your decision making process, it’s recommended that families create a list of desired camp elements. This should include a desired age range, activities, price, location(s), accommodations, and more. This list will help narrow down your options. Once you have a few final contenders, be sure to ask camp leaders all questions you may have. These could include:

    • How much focus is given to each activity? How often do kids switch camp activities?
    • What kinds of assignments or challenges will my child complete by the end of camp? 
    • What is the camper-to-leader ratio? Do campers receive one-on-one assistance at camp?
    • Are campers divided into groups? How is this decided? 
    • Can you provide a packing list for camp? What items are provided by the camp?
    • Does this camp offer before- and after-care for campers? When and how does this run?
    • How are camp leaders trained before camp? Do they complete background checks? Are they certified in First Aid, CPR, or lifeguard training?
    • How are meals and snacks arranged at camp? If provided by the camp, are dietary restrictions accommodated?
    • How is bad behaviour handled at camp? Can you provide an example of a time when you dealt with a camper’s bad behaviour?
    • What extra support do you provide for children with special needs? What specific needs are accommodated at camp?
