Children will participate in five different activities on a typical day at overnight camp, keeping them active. These days, many children spend too much time in front of the TV or computer screen, when they should be getting more exercise.
  • Socialization – Spending time outside gives children the perfect opportunity to interact with peers. At overnight camp, children will have plenty of time to go outside to hang out with friends or practice a new skill with our overnight camp staff. Spending time in nature can lead to improvements in a child’s social development. Children become more aware of personal and social developments and learn how to better interact with others.
