A Unique and Meaningful Gift!
The holiday season is a special time of year. With the gift giving season in full swing, we often find ourselves searching for the perfect gift for the children in our lives. It’s not easy for parents and family members inundated with mile long wish lists of technology and toys to find a meaningful gift. If you are looking for a truly impactful gift that lasts long after the holiday decorations are gone and the batteries in their new gadgets have died, consider giving your child the gift of summer camp!
An unfortunate reality is that so often, the ‘latest and greatest’ toys, gadgets and games we gift to the children in our lives quickly lose their luster and are tossed to the wayside in favor of the next ‘latest and greatest’. Very few of us remember the things that we received and recall specific toys gifted. But an experience like camp is a gift that lasts a lifetime!
A summer at camp is a unique and meaningful holiday gift because it’s an experience that creates memories to last a lifetime. Not only is summer camp a gift that will provide a summer of entertainment, excitement, and adventure, but a gift that will keep giving for years to come with the life skills, friendships, and the opportunity to be part of something bigger than themselves that camp provides. Camp is a priceless opportunity that can impact kids’ lives and change them forever.
The benefits of summer camp are endless. Camp provides a myriad of lasting benefits to children including:
- A place to belong and make lifelong friendships
- A time to unplug from technology and let kids be kids
- A chance to try something new
- A place to learn and grow
- Amazing Counselor role models
- The opportunity to build character and develop lifelong skills
Anne-Marie Gambelin of Motherly, wrote an article called, It’s Science: Giving Experiences Instead of Toys Boosts Your Kid’s Intelligence and Happiness, that explains the benefits of experiences further.
