encourages personal
growth
While camp may simply seem like a quintessential
summer pastime for kids where they might learn to
swim, sleep in a cabin and sing around a campfire,
they’re rewarded with personal development skills that
will help them in the classroom, in their relationships
and, eventually, the board room— or whatever their
calling.
“Those tangible experiences lead to building the
foundations of stronger children who can lead others,
show empathy, navigate through difficult group
dynamics, value the differences in everyone, and give of
oneself for the benefit of others,” Spearin says. “These
are skills that the best in our society show
throughout life.”
