Camp Helps Children Grow

While most might think of summer camp as pure leisure for children, it’s actually preparing them for adulthood. In fact, by attending summer camp, many kids will have opportunities to be independent (with close supervision nearby), and will acquire newfound skills that they can apply to their everyday lives. To dive further into this topic, what actually makes children grow at camp?

Making Friends

Sure, this sounds quite simple — because it is at Camp Tioga! When your child completes their daily activities at camp, they’re not only interacting with camp counselors, but they’re also interacting with other campers who are in the same age bracket. By interacting with each other, it builds character and helps most children break away from their shyness.

Sticking to a Schedule

Besides being the most important skill to obtain, it’s the most pertinent to understand. When your child attends school or begins working at an office in the future, it’s highly important that they stick to a daily schedule. It will not only keep them on track, in terms of time, but it will also increase their organizational skills as a whole.

Understand Teamwork

Whether they’re competing in a game of trivia or playing a game of waterpolo, your children will learn the value of teamwork. Just think of today’s greatest innovations, such as the leading top-performance vehicles. One individual may have created the concept, but it was a team that put the product together and made it a reality.
