The school year is nearing an end, which means one thing is on your mind: summer plans. Cary has no shortage of programs, so it can be overwhelming searching through long lists of things to do with kids.
If you’ve been considering summer camp, you’re in the right place. Day camps are a great option for summer 2024, as they offer a variety of kids activities perfect after the long year we’ve all had.
Whether your kid is a camp newcomer or years-long camp pro, here’s a handy guide to everything you need to know about summer camps. Read on to find out why camp is important (especially after the pandemic) and how to choose the right kids camp for your family.
Let’s start with why summer camp is important. You probably have fond memories of your own of going to camp, meeting new people and experiencing new things. Lots of people would agree that camp made their summers better as a kid.
But beyond the great memories, did you know that studies have shown summer camp is an important part of a child’s development?
According to the American Camp Association, kids who attended a summer camp reported significant growth in the following areas:
Self-esteem
Independence
Leadership
Friendship skills
Social comfort
Peer relationships
Adventure and exploration
Environmental awareness
Values and decisions
Spirituality
The ACA is currently updating their research with a five-year impact study that began in 2016. The study focuses on a sample of former campers aged between 18 and 25 years old, each of whom was asked what they got out of camp and how they are currently using those learnings in school, work and their lives.
Preliminary results from the study show that some of the most essential takeaways from camp include relationship skills, perseverance, an appreciation for individual differences and a willingness to try new things.
Summer camp is not only a way for kids to have fun and meet new friends, it’s a great place to develop life skills. Camp sets kids up for success in a flexible, welcoming and creative environment.
Camp is also more important than ever, considering the events of the past year with the pandemic. Human connection is more crucial than ever before. Camp is a safe place for kids to interact and form new friendships, while also providing structure and an outlet to work out any pent-up energy.
There are a wide variety of summer camps available in the Triangle. So what takes a camp from average to good — or even great? Although the answer will depend for some, there are a few core elements that mark any great camp experience:
Safe and welcome environment
Engaging curriculum
Well-trained, empathetic instructors
Flexible pick-up and drop-off options for busy parents
Here at Vision Martial Arts, we’re committed to always providing the best summer camp experience. Not only do we offer a variety of themed specialty camps, our instructors go above and beyond to ensure each child feels supported.
Now that we’ve covered why summer camp is important and what makes a great camp, all that’s left to do is find the right one for you and your child.
