Today, kids have different reasons for making camp a part of their lives, such as:
To Meet New People
Camp might give you a chance to be with people from different states, or even different countries. It’s a great way to make cool new friends and learn about different places and cultures.
To Try New Things
Most camps offer games and activities that you probably can’t do in your backyard or even your neighborhood. You might try archery, sailing, pottery, dance, obstacle courses, and a hundred other cool things! Staying home and doing «the same-old same-old» can be boring, and camp can let you mix things up.
To Challenge Yourself
Not all the things that kids do at camp are easy-they’re not supposed to be! Fresh challenges — like trying new sports, learning new crafts and games, or pushing yourself to achieve something — can be very rewarding.
To Appreciate Nature
There’s a great big natural world out there, and going to camp helps you learn how beautiful and important it really is. Without trees, soil, water, and wildlife, the Earth (and all the people on it) couldn’t survive, and getting out into the woods or mountains can give you a better understanding of how the web of life works.
To Get a Change of Scenery
Sometimes it’s important to get away from familiar territory and find a «new place» for yourself. Camp offers the perfect opportunity to make a fresh start, see and experience a variety of things, and find out how you think, feel, and act outside of your normal surroundings. It can even be great to get away from your family and friends for a while and just be you.
To Learn New Skills
All the activities and instruction at camp are great opportunities to learn something new — such as pottery, sailing, or tap dancing — that could end up being your favorite hobby. Camp can also help you develop important life skills like independence, self-reliance, and confidence. Since you’ll be living with a whole group of people, it’s also a great way to learn about cooperation, compromise, and tolerance.
To Get Healthy
With all the fun, games, and physical activity, going to camp can be a great way to get exercise and fresh air. Swimming, hiking, and playing sports are a much healthier alternative to hanging around at home all summer.
To Have FUN!
When you get right down to it, going to camp is all about having a good time.
