Summer Camp is a Rewarding Experience for Kids

How Day Camps Can Be A Positive Influence in Youth Development

Whenever I walk past cheerful kids playing, my mind goes back to ages ago when I was young. I can still remember the laughter, cheers and the wonderful experiences I had when I used to attend summer camps during school breaks.. I reminisce about the awesome swimming programs I attended and how I was able to overcome ‘pool phobia'. To date, I've never regretted having spent my time in summer camps; if anything I wish I could turn back time.  Summer camp is one of the most gratifying experiences you can give your child.

Here are some of the reasons your child will benefit from attending summer camps:

Build skills

With so many activities going on kids are challenged to step out of their comfort zones and seek to identify their talents. They are guided by well-trained and qualified personnel who offer guidance and motivation. Children at camp have a broad range of activities to choose from such as sports, swimming, adventure, science, rocketry, adventure, etc. Each day the campers are introduced to new skills that help to shape their future. For instance, the swimming programs for kids are well tailored to equip them with all the basics they require to become excellent swimmers in the future.

Impart confidence

It's frustrating that in our world today, many kids spend the best part of their holidays behind laptops and on games that only inhibits them from daily exercise and real life social interaction. At Day Camps children are exposed to real life challenges that help them confront their fears. In swimming programs, for example, the instructors are well aware that some kids are afraid of water and therefore assist them to deal with that fear before getting into the water. Climbing high heights, winning competitions and doing incredible things serve as a motivation and source of confidence for the kids.

Friendships

One of the best aspects of enrolling in a summer camp is creating bonds with people who may later be beneficial to your life. Campers come from different areas and therefore there is much to share amongst the group members. They also learn one or two things regarding certain people or things and become more exposed to the world.

Build character

Apart from having fun, the kids are taught values such as honesty, dignity, hard work, diligence, respect, and responsibility. All these benefits go on to building wholesome personality in these kids. The kids are also motivated to emulate those key figures in the society who have excelled in character.

Physical exercise

Campers are engaged in many outdoor activities that help them exercise. Some of these activities include hiking, jumping, sports and running. Also enrolling in swimming programs for kids not only gives a child a chance to have fun but also provides him/her time to do exercises which are vital to his/her health. The best part of it is that all this happens when they are having fun!
