KIDS SUMMER CAMPS
The school holidays are less than 2 months away. Few parents can afford time off work for 8-10 weeks and the question arises - How do we entertain the kids?
The answer may be to consider a Summer Camp. These day or residential camps are a long established tradition in the USA and Canada and are becoming popular in the UK and Europe.
These camps are not just a place to park the children. They can introduce the children to new skills which can be learned at their own pace. They engender self confidence, independence and improve social interaction at either single sex or mixed camps.
The choice of camp is important and should be based on the individuals needs.
TRADITIONAL CAMP
This type is for those wishing to sample as many different activities as possible, packing every hour of their stay with something new. The choice is theirs and will include everything from Abseiling and Archery to Mountain Biking and Water sports.
ADVENTURE CAMP
A camp for the outdoor types and meeting nature head on. They will normally be based in the mountains and around lakes. Activities such as hiking, white water rafting, riding and climbing will take the children on trips away from the main camp. Emphasis being placed on survival and navigation skills. Safety is considered paramount and is ensured with experienced and certified staff.
RIDING CAMP
As the name suggests this type of camp is mainly concerned with horse management skills. Tuition is provided at all levels. Although horses will take up the majority of the time there will be opportunities for involvement in traditional camp activities.
FITNESS CAMP
Here the activities programme is no different to a traditional camp. The difference is the additional sessions devoted to a personal and tailored fitness programme, nutrition and possibly aerobic and dance sessions. Staff at these camps are professionals and no one will do other than boost self esteem for those with personal fitness problems.
PERFORMING OR VISUAL ART CAMP
The activity programme is broad but emphasis is not on the sports field. The camp allows an individual the opportunity to participate in their particular passion in a non-competitive environment. The list is endless and could include pottery, music, dance, arts and crafts or even spending time in a recording studio with a band. Staff are there to help develop talents within a chosen field.
SINGLE SEX CAMPS
You have a choice if you prefer a camp which is only boys or girls. You can relax and not worry what the boys are up to!
The attendance at a Summer Camp is one suggestion to break up the long summer holiday. Apart from the pleasure it will provide for the children, it will, without doubt enhance their confidence, self esteem and probably their fitness.
Some other summer camp ideas are: summer Soccer camp, Christian summer camp, Gymnastics summer camp, Tennis summer camp, Sports summer camp, Summer Basketball camp, Cheer leading camp, Acting camp, Jewish summer camp, Marine Biology summer camp, Karate summer camp, Military summer camp, Computer summer camp and Special Needs summer camp. As you can see there is something to please every child and parent and to fulfill their needs. Any one of these summer camps should give your child an enjoyable and memorable summer.
