What Kind of Camp are You Looking For?
|
Maybe your child is going to camp for the first time this summer. Or maybe you just want him or her to stay closer to home. Or maybe you found a nearby program that suits your child's interests, but the program operates in the daytime only.
Under any of these scenarios, you will probably want a day camp experience for your child this summer. But what if your child is a little older, more mature, and ready for a more independent group living experience this summer? Or maybe you feel they need to "grow up" a little bit, and time away from home would benefit them greatly in that regard. Or perhaps your family just considers a summer camp experience where leave home to live at camp more like "real camp" compared to a day camp. In this case, an overnight camp might do the trick. |

In fact spending time away from home at an overnight camp can be a transforming experience for a child.
Living at camp for a couple weeks really teaches kids how to take more responsibility for themselves in all areas of life such becoming more focused on personal grooming habits and learning how to keep their living space clean. (They just can't throw their clothes all over the cabin floor because they're sharing the space with their counselors and fellow campers. Often this new habit of cleaning up after themselves at camp carries over to their own bedroom when they return home from camp!)
So you can see how a sleepaway camp experience can really help kids grow up fast!
Now once you have decided whether a summer day camp or overnight camp is best for you, the next step is to analyze the camp's specific location and if it's right for you.
