Parents Success Corner

The obvious benefit of camp is that Campers make long lasting friendships.

If you spend time around teenagers, it’s easy to see them exhibit “sensation seeking” behaviors. They thrive on new experiences and stimuli of all kinds, and tend to take surprising risks. In fact it’s widely accepted within psychology that this personality trait is a dominant force in the lives of teen girls and boys. This sensation seeking is thought to be an evolutionary, skill , something that helps teens learn new things, become more independent from their parents and to increase their social competence. Overall, it’s a good thing.

Because of summer camp, your child is far more ready for school! Back to School preparations dominate our lives until the yellow buses that have transported campers to and from day and overnight camp and to and from camp trips over the summer make their annual return to school year routes and routines in a matter of days. School children will be riding back to school before we know it.
