How Summer Camp Builds Self-Confidence

Summer camp gives kids amazing opportunities to
try new activities, make decisions
on their own, meet new friends
and learn to work together.

As they mount a horse for the first time, negotiate
who will play which part in a skit
or take responsibility for cleanup tasks…

… they’ll be taking big strides in building
the self confidence that will help them
all through their lives.

“Accomplishments build self-confidence.”

Whether scaling
a rock climbing wall, learning
how to maneuver a sailboat
or conquering the challenges
of a high ropes course …

…camp gives kids
the chance to learn new skills
and find success in areas
they’d never dreamed of.

Learning to get along with a new group of peers
is often a challenge for kids, and making a first step toward
a new friendship is a great confidence builder.

It’s hard to overcome that fear of rejection,
but taking risks often feels easier at camp …

… where kids have a chance to be a whole new self,
free of the expectations of parents and peer groups at home.

Camp counselors play an important part
in helping build kids’ self-confidence,
and summer camps work hard to hire mature …

… skilled and well-trained staff who will
do their best to work with campers and encourage
them to take on new challenges.

Campers learn how to get along with and negotiate
with a different group of trusted adults,
and a good counselor …

… will know how to encourage each child to try
new experiences and make the most
of the aptitudes he or she has.

“Good camps do not tolerate bullying and do their utmost
to make sure every child is treated fairly and valued
as an individual.”

Summer camp offers
days of happy, lively,
boisterous group games
and sports from swimming
to rock climbing,
horseback riding
and water sports.

The emphasis
on healthy living
and exercise is a great way
for kids to get into
good wellness habits.

“Feeling healthy, fit and good about yourself
builds self-esteem.”

Youngsters who are running,
jumping, climbing
and having a great time
with friends
are much happier, healthier
and more confident …

… than those languishing
on the couch surrounded
by a summer supply of
electronic devices.

“In a good camp, kids are encouraged to help each other.”

All kids learn to work as a team, whether in a sport,
on the high ropes course or creating, writing
and producing a skit.

Learning to help each other and be part
of a community builds self-confidence,
and can carry over beautifully into so many
other parts of a camper’s life at school and at home.

It’s important to able to work through obstacles,
persevere and contribute to a team effort
for the betterment of the group.

“Kids get to be more independent at camp.”

Away from mom and dad
and teachers, kids feel
a sense of freedom to make
their own decisions.

They can decide to be in the afternoon skit,
play dodge ball or pick a crazy design
for their camp T-shirt if they want to
or they can choose to do something else.

Small as these choices may be,
they are part of growing up
and gaining a healthy feeling
of empowerment.

“One of the most special things about camp
is that it gives kids a sense of belonging.”

The new and ultimately secure and safe atmosphere of camp,
where everyone is welcomed and celebrated,
gives a sense of security and self-worth that is invaluable.

Silly camp songs and goofy traditions are so much
more than they appear to be …

… they are part of the glue that holds a motley crew of kids
of all ages, abilities and personalities together as a group.
