Let’s be real - summer camp isn’t an Instagram-perfect, glitter-filled retreat where every moment is magical. There will be bug bites. There might be some homesickness. There will definitely be dirt in places you didn’t think dirt could go.
But that’s the beauty of camp. In a world where kids are used to instant gratification, the pressure of school and activities, and rarely challenged to step outside their comfort zones, camp is one of the last places where they can just be kids. It’s messy, unpredictable, and sometimes even hard - but that’s exactly what makes it so life-changing. So let’s talk about the parts of camp no one puts in the brochure. The scraped knees, the awkward first-day jitters, the rainy afternoons. Because those "imperfect" moments? They’re the ones that help kids build resilience, confidence, and friendships that last a lifetime. Keep reading for the truth about summer camp - and why your child will be better for it.

As parents, we all want the best for our kids - opportunities to learn, grow, and become their best selves. We cheer them on at soccer games, remind them to finish their homework (...again), and try to plan summer activities that feel worthwhile. But what if the best thing you could give your child this summer wasn’t another class or achievement-oriented program, but a place where they can grow in confidence, character, and faith while having the time of their lives?
Summer camp is more than just s’mores and silly songs (though those are great, too). It’s an environment designed to help kids build independence, make meaningful friendships, and explore who they are in a supportive and encouraging community. Whether they’re stepping onto the high ropes course for the first time, leading the group in a silly camp song, or engaging in deep conversation by the fire, camp is where kids find out what they’re truly capable of. If you’re a parent looking for a summer experience that goes beyond entertainment - one that fosters resilience, kindness, and spiritual growth - here’s why camp might be the perfect fit for your child. |
