"What a great summer Gary had!!!!! He definitely blossoms under your roof(s). I heard nothing but wonderful things from him. After the stresses of school, he needs to chill and have a great time. We are very lucky to have found Camp Tioga to help him do just that.

"Thank you so much for a great day!!!  Even through the rain and the mud slides the sun was shining on Tioga.  My kids are truly so happy.  It was great to walk around with them and be introduced to their world. It is amazing to see they have a life outside of ours. The friendships they are making, and the experiences they are living will follow them throughout their life.  That is PRICELESS!!!!!"

David and Mandy 

"When our children returned home, they had nothing but good things to say. I tried to elicit a response from them about the things they disliked most about camp. It was a surprise when they said they disliked nothing. My kids can complain about almost anything! They enjoyed the flexibility in scheduling their activities, thought the facilities were great, and had fun with the off-site events....See you next year."

How Boys Can Benefit From Attending Summer Camp

In a previous blog post, we discussed how camp can be beneficial for girls. Boys can also benefit from attending camp! Want to learn more? If so, keep reading. 

Detaching from Technology Allows for Better Social Skills 
There is no denying that we live in an age where everyone relies on technology. However, a reliance on technology can foster a feeling of social anxiety in young boys. Camp is the perfect place to disconnect from technology. After all, there is a strict no cell phone policy here at Camp Tioga. Putting the phone down allow them to socialize with their peers. 

Staying Physically Active
It is important for everyone to be physically active in some way, shape or form. For boys, it is particularly important. It gives them the opportunity to channel their energy in a positive manner. Boys will definitely stay active when they attend Camp Tioga
