Trying to decide if a summer day camp is for your child? Debate no longer! The answer is “yes”.
Day camp is a great opportunity for friends and strangers to gather together for a week or more to explore a common interest. Lego, sports, nature, faith, games and crafts – there’s a camp for you!
Concerned about the qualifications of the camp leaders? Not to worry! Camp counsellors are born with special DNA programmed for this very role. Most CCs come out of the womb chanting, “Peel bananas, peel peel bananas.” As toddlers, you frequently here mini CCs telling their playmates to “Stop, Look and Listen” – any kid who doesn’t reply with a speedy, “oh, yeah!” is stricken from future play date lists.
Still not sure? Maybe you’re worried that there won’t be enough structure and rules. Or maybe too many rules. Nope, not at camp. There is just the right balance of routines and freedom. Okay, there are a few rules, but they are important (and universal).
Camp Rules
Stick with your crew.
Follow the leader.
Keep it peanut-free.
Wear sunscreen.
Grates are not for jumping on.
Stay with your crew.
Don’t lick other campers.
STAY WITH YOUR CREW.
Socks stay on your feet.
Wait.
STAY. WITH. YOUR. CREW.
Camp is a rite of passage – whether as a camper or a leader. You start learning life’s lessons at camp. Look out for your group. Travel with a buddy. Ask for help when you need it. Take turns. And always stay with your crew.
