Gifting experiences seems to be the latest trend in gift giving this holiday season. Many online parenting communities and newsletters have supported and recommended this idea and families seem to have hopped on board. Rather than gifting a whole bunch more “stuff” this year, families seem to be embracing and prioritizing experiences and adventure when planning their holiday shopping. The gift of camp, and the experience it provides, could be the single best gift a child can receive. A summer filled with fun, friends, confidence, challenges and new experiences is something all children can benefit from. The gift of summer camp is a gift that stays with children forever.
Many of us feel fortunate to be able to provide the gift of summer camp to our own children, and yet there are so many children who do not have this same opportunity. “The Roughing It Foundation” and the American Camp Association’s “Send a Child to Camp Fund” are organizations that collect donations in in order to provide deserving children the chance to experience summer camp
Give the gift of Summer Camp this year! If not for your own child, grandchild, niece or nephew, share this experience with other children by offering your support to one of these great organizations. children the chance to experience summer camp.
