Camp is a powerful, positive experience that accelerates the development of social skills, self-esteem, physical and thinking skills, and spirituality.  But don't take my word for it.  Check out Directions, the largest study ever conducted on the outcomes of  the camp experience.  And for more information for parents and families, visit CampParents.org.

Research aside, kids know that the top three reasons for attending day or overnight camp are: FUN, FRIENDS, and THE CHANCE TO BE YOURSELF.  No wonder organized camping has been around since 1865!  To see some fun camp videos and get a taste of what awaits you at summer camp, check out these three 7-minute videos produced by the American Camp Association.

Ready, Set, Camp!
