Kid’s Camps: The Day Camp Experience
Find the Right Day Camp for Your Child
Are you looking for a positive and exciting day camp experience for your child, an opportunity for them to explore nature, participate in arts and crafts, build athletic or academic skills, or enjoy other adventures? Is this your child’s first camp experience? Are you concerned that your child may not be ready to spend the night away from home, or does your child have other needs or obligations that would make an overnight camp experience challenging?
Day camps now offer a broad array of themes and focus, from performing arts to sports, from outdoor skills to spiritual growth. There are also day camps that offer comprehensive programs for kids with special needs. In addition, there are day camp opportunities for young people of almost any age, from grade school students to high school graduates.
Educators and family counselors have long agreed that the camp experience can help children develop many skills necessary to success in life: the ability to work with others in a social environment, self-esteem and self-reliance. The camp experience offers an avenue for creative expression and participation in a community, but can also meet a kid’s need for physical activity. In the right day camp, a child can learn from positive role models, developing skills in communication as well as social interaction. In activities with other campers, they can learn how to work cooperatively, take responsibility, and think and act with confidence.
