June is National Camping Month and the beginning of summer fun for children who attend summer camp or summer day camp during the school holiday.

Apart from getting the kids out of Mom and Dad’s hair, summer camp gives children the opportunity to learn skills not taught in school, build social skills with their peers, enjoy physical activity and exercise, and increase confidence and independence – all of which will help later in life with higher education and the job market.

With the average child spending 7.5 hours a day engaged with  electronic media like computers and TV, going to summer camp is an opportunity to learn without distractions, get healthier, participate in real life adventures, enjoy nature, and interact with positive adult role models.

• Parents generally send their kids to summer camp for an average of eight weeks.
