Here’s a brief look at what kids gain when going to a Squamish summer camp:
Kids grow in independence and self-confidence. Away from the watchful eyes of parents, kids meet and engage with other kids from Squamish, Vancouver, and elsewhere in the province. They meet new friends, deal with conflicts, and grow, all on their own. They learn to take care of their stuff. It’s all part of how kids grow in independence and social skills.
Kids get in touch with nature and take time off from screens. Time in the natural world has been shown numerous times to have lots of mental health and other personal benefits, no matter what your age. Some camps have rules against cell phones and devices, which are a distraction, of course, but also link them to social media which has known negative effects on youth’s self-esteem.
Develop team-building skills and leadership. Camps encourage kids to work together through tasks and activities, developing communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills. In this independent setting, some kids emerge as leaders, and all kids develop some leadership skills and responsibility. Learn more about how camps develop empathy and generosity.
That’s the tip of the iceberg. Elsewhere on our site, read a list of all the benefits of summer camp and consider how overnight camp transforms kids and teens.
