Kid’s Camps—The Sports Camp Experience
Find the Right Sports Camp for Your Child
It is a fact of modern life that if your child wants to excel at or be highly competitive in a particular sport, they need to participate in sports camp. But the camp experience can also be beneficial for those who simply love to play a game, and want the opportunity to share that love with others who have a similar passion. And the good news is that there is a sports camp out there to meet the needs of just about any child, regardless of the sport, and regardless of the age and skill level.
The benefits of a sports camp, however, go far beyond the development of athletic skills. Child development experts have long held that the camp experience provides benefits that last a lifetime. Because the camp experience stresses inclusiveness, and rewards effort, it provides a safe and nurturing environment where young people can build self-confidence and independence. The opportunity to work with and learn from positive role models also instills self-esteem and self reliance. Campers develop effective communication and problem-solving skills, and learn how to take responsibility for themselves and their actions.
The sports camp experience can be available to anyone, regardless of socio-economic status. Most camps offer some type of financial assistance to campers in need. In a study by the American Camp Association, approximately 90% of accredited camps had financial aid programs.
