​How Camp Prepares Children for Adulthood

There is no denying that summer sleepaway camp is a lot of fun. In the process of having the best summer ever, campers learn life lessons along the way. Below are some of the ways camp prepares a young person for adulthood.

Teamwork
At school, most children are only focused on their own success. This is not the case at Camp Tioga. Children will learn quickly that if they work together, they can reach a common goal. Learning to collaborate and work with others is an essential skill needed for growing up.

Resilience
Our campers know that it is okay to make mistakes at camp. After all, learning from mistakes makes children more resilient. When they fall down, they learn how to get right back up and try again. It is important to develop a thick skin as you get older.

Independence
Sleepaway camp is usually the first time when a young person is on their own. They must learn how to handle this new found independence. In the end, it helps them build character.

If you want your child to be well-equipped with life skills, the solution is clear. Enroll your child at Camp Tioga! Please be aware that space is extremely limited and some age groups have been closed out. Call 516-938-0894 today to reserve your spot.
