Summer Camps doesn’t have to be fancy and elaborate to cater and please kids. A simple get together of kids with a qualified counselor learning how to make bracelets for girls and learning survival techniques for boys are already big successful camps.
I do believe that not all children in the US or in Europe ever went to camps for some reason or another. Yet, I bet they had dreams of being on these camps all their childhood. Summer Camps echo our kid’s dream. Here they feel like adults venturing into their own world where they are responsible of whatever decisions they made. Summer Camps give our children the chances to be independent just for once and away from parents exhausting protectiveness and hovering.
As children it is part of their growth to dream and act as if they are adults. So they would try to imitate mom and cook hotdogs over burning paper. Or perhaps designs stores and pretend to sell and eventually sold your cupcakes stocks from your refrigerator. And a lot more of antic just to express ones dreams!
Summer Camps cater to these dreams. It implemented the kid’s fantasy into reality. A moment where kids could just simply be kids!
