Five reasons to send your child to day camp this summer
Surrey, BC – Summer is quickly
approaching, and parents are starting
to fill their calendars with
vacations
and
social
commitments. It’s also a time when
parents may struggle to find short-
term
childcare for their kids – or just
want to keep their children active and
limit screen time in the summer.
The City of Surrey offers over 150
summer camps ranging from cooking
and robotics, to art and
sports – all designed to expand
children’s interests, while supporting
parents over the summer break.
In addition to keeping children
healthy and active, here are the top
five reasons to send your child to
camp this summer:
Developing independence
Camps provide the perfect
atmosphere to foster self-development.
Under the guidance of camp
staff, children are encouraged to
understand boundaries and develop
critical thinking, in order to
make safe decisions. Although
summer camps are developed for
your child’s specific age group,
there are plenty of ways your
child will be challenged to grow, make
decisions for themselves,
and learn though experience.
Learning leadership skills
Camps are an excellent place to
inspire your child’s natural skills and
abilities and improve on
areas that will develop their
confidence, with the support from
positive peers and camp staff. Sports
camps are a great way to improve
cooperation, teamwork, and problem-
solving skills.
Developing new interests and
hobbies
Camps are a great way for
children to explore new activities and
programs that could turn into lifelong
passions. Whether your child is
into sports, nature, science, arts or
cooking, camps are a great way to
try something new and develop
new hobbies.
Exposure to diversity
Camp relationships can last a
lifetime! Camps can connect kids who
wouldn’t normally meet though
sports
clubs
or
school
catchments. They are a great way for
your child to meet new friends, learn
about
different cultures and expand
their social circle. Navigating new
relationships teaches children social
confidence – a great skill to take
back to school in September!
Building resilience
By increasing independence,
building leadership skills, and
discovering new interests and hobbies,
your
child will develop skills that will
help them grow into a responsible
young adult. Camps empower
children
to make their own decisions and
build the confidence it takes to handle
change effectively and adapt to
different situations. Resilience
is an excellent lifelong skill that your
child will benefit from once
school is back in September, and
beyond.
