How will this camp help my child/teen?
Children (and adults) feel most confident when they have completed something that excites them and following through, seeing a project from beginning to end gives them a sense of accomplishment, pride, it builds on their self-image and confidence.
Working with their peers and engaging in group activities teaches leadership skills, receiving positive feedback from their peers builds self-respect and teaches them to accept criticism and praise from others.
Not to mention they get to meet new people and make new friends, they are outside and getting to see nature in new and different ways, and overall they have fun!
What will my child/teen learn?
