Traditional overnight camps offer a slate of activities heavy on typical outside fun, like swimming and canoeing. The agenda may also include more typical contemporary things like climbing or ziplining.

Other sleepover camps are more specialized. These give kids and teens a one-of-a-kind opportunity to completely steep themselves in a specific passion. Take a closer look at the variety of overnight camps and consider the value of attending a camp entirely focused on the following activities:

Many parents balk at the idea of sending a child to an overnight camp, far from home, for a week or longer. Even for those who appreciate the value of camp, the first time can feel like a big, scary commitment that forebodes a bout of kidsickness or worse. Kids and teens may have their own reasons for resistance or at least hesitation, too, of course.
If you’re like most families that follow through with the commitment, you won’t regret it one bit! Numerous authorities weigh in on the benefits of camp, including the unique ways in which kids develop independence and self-confidence. Spending extended time away from family, home and other familiar things is understood as a critical character-builder, both anecdotally and in studies and surveys. Every kid or teen who goes learns something about themselves.
Proponents of the camp experience champion it as an important means of developing inner strength, sympathy, cooperation and a list of other important personal characteristics. Kids and teens also gain an appreciation for nature, cultural differences and physical activity. Overnight kids’ camps in Canada offer a completely unique mix of learning and fun unmatched through any other means. We offer a more detailed look at this in our full examination of the benefits of attending an overnight kids’ camp.
