What are the benefits of outdoor adventure camps?
Adventure camp is focused on physical, outdoor activities that help build on your child’s social interaction. But it is also focused on building other important aspects which are necessary and valuable in everyday life. This includes reading comprehension, spelling skills, and math skills.
Research shows that many children tend to lose as much as two-months worth of grade-level learning over the summer. In other words, their learning skills tend to go backward.
To help curb this learning loss, adventure camp focuses on opportunities to build on learning at every opportunity. This includes technology, engineering, math, problem-solving, writing, reading, and the arts.While a large part of summer camp is about improving yourself as an individual, it also shifts the focus away from your teen onto caring for others. In essence, this teaches your child how to become a little more selfless in their everyday life. And it also teaches them the value of being a team player.
Camp focuses on exercises focused on goal setting, conflict resolution, and overcoming challenges. This helps to improve your child’s own self-confidence. It also allows gives them a chance to form a stronger sense of their own individuality and self-worth.
Both children and adults build up their self-esteem by challenging their fears and accomplishing something they thought they couldn’t. This is exactly what is encouraged and achieved at adventure camp.
