It's almost time to start planning for your summer . Making plans for vacation, work hours, childcare, and possibly camp.
Is sending your child to camp something you are considering this year?
Here are 5 reasons why we send our kids to camp.
- New friends. Every camp I've been to was an opportunity for new friends. And some of those friends were so close they were in my wedding.
- Exploring. Camp gives your kiddo a chance to try something new wholeheartedly but only for a short time.
- Learning skills. Home is a safe place to explore boundaries, but there are some things that are hard to learn at home like working with others (who are not siblings) or problem solving. Sometimes it's easier to fail if mom or dad aren't there to fix it.
- Developing a passion. Is your kiddo showing signs of interest in a particular activity or art? Camp is a great option to help determine if this is something they really want to pursue.
- Memories. If for no other reason than to make your child's childhood rich in experiences and memories. There is nothing like a memory from camp. Camp is a year-round topic of conversation in our house. Boy Scout camp, Bible Camp, Theatre Camp, Soccer Camp. It's always in the back of our minds. This year's Summer Camp Guide is packed full of different opportunities.
