The Benefits of Sending Your Child To Overnight Camp

The summer is not a time for children to forget everything they learned in school. Instead, it is a time for children to grow and learn new things. That's where overnight camp comes in! Below are some of the benefits your child will reap when they attend Camp Tioga. 

No Electronics Allowed

Some children have smart phones and tablets. While they are becoming more technologically savvy, they are also becoming more sedentary. This is not true for campers at Camp Tioga! We have a strict no cell phone policy. When kids unplug from technology, they have the opportunity to explore new sports and activities. 

Decision Making Skills

During a typical day at camp, campers make plenty of decisions. They will decide what to wear, what to eat and what activities to participate in. Not only will it teach them how to make their own decisions, it will allow them to discover their true passions.

More Appreciative

It is so easy to take people for granted. Campers will have to adjust to camp life without the guidance and support of their parents. In the end, campers learn to appreciate their parents and all the comforts of home.

"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."
