Summer camp is an amazing place where kids come together to have fun. Within the camp setting, children develop a sense of independence as they try new adventures away from home. Summer camps are known for providing a safe environment where children gain self-confidence as they learn new skills. A camp is also a place where children develop a variety of social skills (e.g., communication, independence, resiliency and conflict resolution ability).
According to an extensive study of camper outcomes conducted by Philliber Research Associates, 70 per cent of parents report that their child gained self-confidence while at a camp. Whether they work through homesickness or tackle an activity that pushed them outside of their comfort zone, kids walk away feeling a stronger sense of personal pride and self-reliance.
Summer Camp is a place to experience activities for the first time, such as archery, Burma bridge, commando crossing, obstacle courses and much more with instructors who are passionate and knowledgeable about a diverse range of activities. The culture at summer camps encourages diversity, so kids become more willing to try new things without fear of being made fun of or ostracized by their peers.
Positive team building activities and group bonding are a big reason why children have good experiences and happy memories that last a lifetime. Each child brings their own uniqueness to the camp, and trainers are trained to celebrate and support each child’s individuality.
It’s increasingly common today for children to spend more time indoors, interacting with electronic devices rather than friends. A break from technology offers opportunities to bond with other children and adults in different ways, like supporting each other while they experience the zip-line for the first time, collaborating on a nature art project, or building a raft together and rowing it across the lake within the Empower camps premise. “These are memories that they talk about all year long,” says some parents from our previous camps.<
