The school year is coming to an end and, with it, the summer holidays will begin. Although surely your children are looking forward to saying goodbye to school for a while, the truth is that this free time during the summer season makes it difficult for parents to reconcile family and work life.
In this context, summer camps are an excellent option for the little ones in the house to spend a few entertaining days, accompanied by other children their age. Because apart from being a relief for conciliation by having minors supervised by professional monitors in their care, summer camps have many benefits for children.
A child at home all summer is synonymous with hearing a few “I’m bored.” Camps are a constant succession of fun activities for children. Their free time will be filled with games with which, in addition to having fun, they will learn new skills and knowledge. Especially if it is a camp in English or with a specific theme, such as mathematics, science, cooking…
No matter how hard you try to regulate the time your children spend with the screens, in summer it is difficult not to give in when they have so many free hours throughout the day. And, while you work, you probably do not have all the time you would like to take it to nature, to the beach or to the pool. In the camp they will do many outdoor activities and excursions, they will explore and get in touch with nature, which is very positive for them.
At the camp your child will meet many new children, thus reinforcing their social skills. This will enrich his circle of personal relationships. He will meet new people and forge great friendships that he will surely keep in the future. In addition, he will work on conflict resolution that may arise from coexistence.
Sack races, zip lines, swimming, tennis, soccer, canoeing… Summer camps usually incorporate a wide variety of sports with which children will have a great time and exercise. Exercise is very good for your health, it will make you feel good and perhaps you will discover or improve some activity that you can continue practicing when you return to your routine.
During their stay at the camp, your children must get used to being away from their parents or other reference and attachment figures. This way they will learn to be more independent and self-confident, determined and decisive. It will also give them a sense of responsibility, since they must take care of their belongings, be orderly, punctual in terms of camp schedules and obey the routine and rules set by the monitors.
