3
Parents are often surprised by how much their
kids have changed when they come home at the end
of the season.
4
This is because quality summer camps push kids
outside of their comfort zones.
5
They fill their schedules with fun, wholesome
activities that promote a positive mindset.
6
In addition to a sudden affinity for tie-dye, you
can expect your kid to come home with increased
self-esteem.
7
These changes will influence their success at
home, school and in their athletic endeavors.
8
CONNECT WITH POSITIVE PEER GROUPS
9
When your son or daughter leaves home for camp,
you may feel like they are leaving their family
behind for a few weeks.
10
They are, however, entering a new family filled
with camp friends and counselors. Everyone
enjoys promoting a positive mindset within their
group.
11
They encourage their cabin mates to sign up for
that wakeboarding class. They cheer when friends
conquer the climbing wall.
12
And they learn to build each other up through
positive reinforcement.
13
TAKE ON NEW CHALLENGES
14
Summer camp is full of opportunities for kids to
take safe risks. The best part is that most of
them are disguised as fun.
15
Kids never really think about them as challenging
until they are looking back with pride on their
accomplishments.
16
For instance, finishing a white-water rafting
trip fills kids with confidence. And realizing
how hard they worked to reach the end instantly
gives them a boost of self-esteem.
17
Meeting new challenges helps kids realize that
anything is possible when they reach for their
dreams.
18
EMBRACE THE JOYS OF INDEPENDENCE
19
Homesickness is a common concern to parents when
their kids first go to camp.
20
They find friends who help them discover the
benefits of being independent.
21
Helping to keep their cabin clean is a good place
to start. It helps them progress into leadership
roles.
22
Assisting younger campers allows kids to find
safe ways to feel good about their ability to do
some things on their own.
23
Summer camps offer new adventures every year.
Each age level is increasingly challenging.
24
Overnight trips and bicycling through new terrain
allows even the oldest campers to continue
developing their independence.
25
GET A BREAK FROM TECHNOLOGY
26
The internet has brought tremendous benefits for
kids. They can go online to chat with their
friends. They can finish research projects for
school.
27
!
However, too much time online can sometimes wreak
havoc on a childs self-esteem. Social media can
sometimes make it seem as if everyone is having a
better time than them.
28
At camp, kids have no doubt that they are having
the time of their life.
29
Discovering all the things they can do rebuilds
the damage that online images may have done to
their self-esteem.

PUBLIC WATER PARKS
It is important to encourage your kids to step
out of their comfortable lifestyle. They learn to
push themselves to see what their minds and
bodies can do.
