Benefits of summer camp If you’re a former camper, you know firsthand the positive effects of the camp experience. However, if you’ve never had the opportunity to attend camp as a child, you may be wondering exactly what the benefits of camping are, and what your child will gain from the experience. Here are the top ten most important reasons to send your child to camp.
At camp, children: l Make true friends l Explore nature l Learn social skills l Enjoy free time l Gain independence
l Develop lifelong skills l Unplug from technology l Gain resiliency l Experience success l Spend their day being physically active
We think one of the biggest takeaways from a summer camp experience is the chance girls have to build resilience—which is needed now more than ever. Resilience is learned and developed from facing setbacks and challenges that girls face in nature. Having the tools to learn from these challenges are essential in gaining character, confidence, and courage—characteristics that are essential to being a G.I.R.L. in today’s world.
