Top 10 Reasons to Go To Summer Camp

Why Go to Summer Camp? There are lots of good reasons to go to a great Summer Camp in 2023 -- here's just a few to get you started.

Summer Camp is Fun.
Make some great friends with other campers, who share similar interests and new experiences.
All Campers learn about sharing, caring, and doing their very best.

Most Camp Counselors can be positive role-models, building leadership in their campers, and offering helpful advice and encouragement.
Some parts of Summer Camp might involve hard work and a concentrated focus on participation, helping others, and team spirit -- as well as, many other character building activities.
In most camps, campers are encouraged to take individual responsibility, whether it's making their own bed, or taking responsibility for specific camp duties.
Most summer camps are very accepting of beginners and new campers, and there will be lots of instruction, encouragement and skill building in all the major camp activities.
While many first-time campers might be a little hesitant about going, by the end of camp they probably won't want to leave.
Camp can be very affordable. Many Camps offer some form of camperships, financial aid, or discounts, so be sure to ask each camp for details.
Summer Camp can be a life-changing experience for campers of any age, with memories and friendships that can last a lifetime.
