Summer camp for Kids

For a long time I had this notion that summer camps for kids are a good way of keeping kids busy so that they don’t trouble me when I am busy with work.

I actually felt guilty about enrolling my kids into one. This feeling surfaces even more if you are a Stay-At-Home-Mom and I suffered from this guilt until I realised that my so called selfish decision had actually benefited my kid in many ways.

One day when Ahaan, explained to me the 3^rd law of Newton and why his ball falling from different heights had different speeds. I was captivated. I realised its not the books but the experiential learning. This was conceived as one of the summer camps ideas that had helped him understand this interesting concept in the most non formal environment. Next came a list of new friends who he wanted to invite to his birthday party. I could see my shy, reticent boy had developed some good social skills.

So trust me parents when I say that the summer camp activities for kids have more benefits than you would think and there is no need to feel guilty about enrolling your kid into one.

Create New Bonds– As already shared, Summer camps for kids offer the opportunity to make new friends and socialise with peers outside of their usual school or neighbourhood environment. This can be especially beneficial for kids who may be shy or have difficulty making friends and for those who live in nuclear families.
Raise Those Sports– Many summer camps offer outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, and sports. This provides kids with the chance to experience new adventures and develop physical fitness.
Acquire New Skills Summer camps can provide kids with the opportunity to develop new skills and explore new interests.
Boost That Confidence: Summer camps offer a chance for kids to develop independence and self-confidence by trying new things, making decisions on their own, and taking on leadership roles.
Break from Technology: Many parents enrol their kids in summer camps to provide a break from technology and screens. Summer camps offer the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities and enjoy the outdoors without the distractions of technology.
Convenience: This point can’t be ignored as its much needed for working parents and even Stay at home parents. Getting them constructively involved in activities rather than letting them sit in front of the TV all the time.

Here is the catch though, enrolling them in any camp does not help. You should do a little research. Ask around, take a review and also understand your child’s interest. I remember when I would initially enrol him in camps that kept him busy from morning till late afternoon, he was not happy and was not even learning anything constructive.

When I started focusing on his Interests, like Lego, STEM, Dance, I saw him enjoying these more and looking forward to these camps. The learning curve really changed there.

Just like in his case, preschoolers too need structured and age-appropriate activities and also need special attention and keeping them engaged is not easy. How we keep pre schoolers busy and engaged vs older kids is different. They have shorter attention spans. You need skilled and experienced teachers who can interact with the preschoolers and also understand their needs. If not done, the kids may lose interest easily and not gain anything from a summer camp.
