We’ve all heard of it, right? The “summer slide” or “summer learning loss”. These terms coined by researchers, describe the phenomenon of losing academic progress during the summer. While data varies on loss and impact, investing in summer camp is a guaranteed way to keep your children active, engaged, outdoors and away from screens during the extended time away from school.
From learning new skills to meeting new friends, the summer camp experience is a learn-by-play opportunity that will help your little ones develop lifetime skills.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for school-aged children, consistent movement through active play, and sports is crucial for children to move excess energy and maintain a healthy weight.
Active play and learning build confidence by allowing children to feel accomplishment through problem-solving and creative thinking. This reinforces a belief in their abilities to handle challenges and promotes healthy self-esteem.
When kids unplug from screens and wi-fi they can increase their focus, connect better socially and engage in the real world–with real people, real activities and real emotions. The stimulation of summer camp will activate their senses and ground them with exciting hands-on learning that will last a lifetime.
The benefits of summer camp don’t just end there. These four skills are just a few of the out-of-the-classroom education building blocks that can help you children stay engaged in learning and curb the summer learning loss that a full summer of inactivity could bring.
