Why You Should Send Your Child To Sleepaway Camp Next Summer

Summer camp can provide children with tons of great benefits such as helping them connect with nature, boosting their self esteem and helps them to develop interests. If you’ve ever wondered if you should send your child to overnight camp--the answer is yes! Here are some reasons why going to camp is a worthwhile experience.

Occupies The Summer

Camp is a great option for working parents. If both parents work, you may not have anyone to watch your child during the week. It can be difficult to find a babysitter for the entire summer, and they won’t be able to provide your child with all of the experiences that camp offers. At Camp Tioga, we have a camper to staff ratio better than 3 to 1. Your child will be supervised at all times and have lots of fun in a safe, nurturing environment.

Children Develop Confidence

Are you worried about your child’s confidence? At Camp Tioga, we believe that all children should feel good about themselves--and we provide the setting to foster self esteem and confidence building. We offer plenty of sports and activities that kids can excel at. Mastering a new skill can do wonders for a child's self esteem. When kids are in an unfamiliar setting, it forces them to go outside of their comfort zone, which helps them grow. According to the American Camp Association, 92 percent of kids who attend camp say that the people at camp helped them feel good about themselves.

Reconnect With The Great Outdoors

Staying active and connecting with nature are two huge components of camp. In a society where technology has consumed our lives, children often fail to get outside and explore their surroundings. Camp Tioga’s state of the art campus is located in the incredible Endless Mountain region of Pennsylvania and spans 110 scenic acres. With that kind of outdoor space, your child will experience the great outdoors and learn the facets of how to live a healthy and active life.
