Surrey camps give kids an essential life experience that helps them mature more quickly. Here’s a look at some benefits of sending your child to camp:
Promotes healthy living. Camp activities instill kids and teens with lessons in the importance of daily fitness. They take these habits home and integrate them into their daily lives. Sports camps especially encourage this, and soccer camps are very popular. Many camps, though, offer physical activity like rock climbing or zip lining, and kids build endurance, strength, and stamina.
Unplug in a screen-free environment. Technology and social media are “too much with us,” as the poet says. Camp gives kids and teens real world fun. The Mayo Clinic (among other studies) has shown that too much screen-time increases kids’ risk of obesity, negatively affects children’s focus and sleep patterns, and can lead to a decline in academic performance. Camp mitigates these negative effects, and kids learn to be present in the moment.
Develop positive character traits. Many parents will tell you that camp increases kids’ maturity by leaps and bounds. Kids’ personal growth improves in areas like independence, responsibility, empathy, and perseverance. They have fun, meet new people, and deepen these character traits with every new camp experience.
New friendships and a broadened social circle. Kids and teens mingle, practice interpersonal skills, and make new friends. The supportive environment gives them a unique sense of belonging not found anywhere else. They mix with other kids and teens of varying ages, skill levels, interests, and backgrounds. As a result, your child will find people they connect with and feel supported by.
Sending your child away to a camp is no small matter. Ensure everything lines up to your expectations and the camp is of a high quality. Here are some essential questions to ask camps before making your choice:
What safety measures are in place?
The number one consideration for every parent and guardian is safety.
You should be looking for experienced camp counselors who have previously worked with kids. Attendance checks should be mandatory whenever the kids change location or start a new activity. Be sure that you are confident that the proper safety measures are in place.
How Is The Camp Organized?
