By Lonnie Lorenz


This question wouldn't even occur to most people who went to summer camp as a child ~ most of them can tell you long cherished stories they still remember in detail. The memories of summer camp are reminders of experiences with a lifetime's worth of value. Picking a Summer Camp

Children's camp can provide a child with opportunities for never ending daily fun the way few other places can. Pure, nonstop fun would be reason enough for anyone to want to be at a sleep away camp, but resident camp offers even more to a child's unfolding life, and the best camps offer a wealth of benefits.

Children's camps are healthy places to be. Physical exercise is a natural part of a healthy child's life, and camp is a natural provider of constant, safe exercise. The overnight camper's intellect and imagination get plenty of exercise as well.

Camp offers a chance for kids to learn social interaction in a creative and independent way. Guided by capable adult friends called counselors, campers get an independent chance to apply what they have been taught at home in a larger world. If a summer camp is a coed camp, there is even more opportunity for kids to learn how to relate with members of the other gender as friends and equals rather than what advertisers promote.

Given our current economy sleep away camp is easily the most affordable summer care choice available. Camp is so much more than childcare. It's a place and time for kids to gain independence, enhance their skills, make new friends and above all have fun. Camp is a wonderful value.

Campers grow into themselves, setting newer and higher standards for their own behavior. The kids camp daily context is activities that encourage perseverance, listening skills, teamwork, and the ability to recognize similarities and appreciate differences in each individual. Self discovery becomes a lifelong habit.

Camp provides opportunity to rediscover a growing life. At overnight camp kids come to a new place and try new things and make new friends. Everyone starts as an equal with a chance to just be oneself around others. Summer camp is so much more than the most affordable childcare choice parents can make?
