Why Tioga Campers Become Leaders

In an age of social media and miles of impressionable celebrities, it’s very easy to march to the beat of someone else’s drum. While being inspired by another individual isn’t a negative factor, it’s always best to embrace your individuality and stand out amongst the rest. Although this may seem like a difficult task to teach your child, leadership is taught with ease at Camp Tioga. Without further ado, here are some of the reasons why Tioga campers become leaders:

Group Activities

Although this may seem self-explanatory, all of our activities at Camp Tioga are group activities. Whether your child participates in our circus skills club or the high ropes course, they’re always working with other campers to accomplish a common goal: to have fun. When participating in activities, sometimes campers will have to take direction not only from their counselors, but themselves, and lead their teams to victory. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Make Choices

While our campers are closely monitored at all times for safety precautions by our staff, there are times when campers must make their own choices, such as choosing what they’d like to eat for dinner at our dining hall. This simple step alone teaches children that they can make their own choices, and are the leaders to their own happiness.

Encouragement

Whether they’re competing in one of our water balloon competitions or playing a game of volleyball, campers are always being cheered on by counselors, staff and fellow campers! Despite the outcome of the game, they will always feel like a winner with the constant encouragement delivered daily!
