WHAT MAKES A GREAT SUMMER CAMP?

When I was growing up in London, my mum always booked me up for summer camp. Summer was never boring for me. I went to overnight camps and also ones run by the local church or school. Since relocating to Lagos, I have also conducted and delivered exciting summer camps in my local neighbourhood. From our camp research, listed below are factors that make a great summer camp.

FUN FACTOR

Any parent that sends their child to summer camp to learn just literacy and numeracy will not have a happy child. C’mon, children have been working hard all year round and the last thing they want to do is school work during summer holidays. The children just want to have fun and lots of it. So look for summer camps that have exciting activities. Your child deserves it.

VARIETY

Variety they say is the spice of life and who really wants to spend summer just doing one activity? Not children. Their minds are alert and they want to learn new and varied topics. So don’t get caught up in sending them to a summer school that caters for one skill only. They will get bored. Trust me.

CREATIVITY

Children love getting creative. Drawing, building, music, beading, dancing, making things or writing things down; They love them all. Look for camps that have a wide range of activities. You don’t want your child coming back from camp with excess energy and saying things like “I’m bored”.

BONDING

One reason I loved summer camp was because it was an opportunity to meet new and interesting people. When I went away for summer camp, I met a friend called Dionne. Even though I haven’t seen her since I was 10, I always have fond memories of our friendship. Things havent changed today. My children love making new friends at summer camp.

ADVENTURE

To keep the children coming back to camp, you should look for camps that offer adventure. Maybe they will solve a mystery case or a treasure hunt or unusual sports activities. Children love adventure.

LIFE SKILLS

Finally look for a summer camp that will deliver important life skills that will make your child stand out and have a competitive edge. These skills may include leadership, public speaking, communication and etiquette. Do your research and ask around for reputable summer camps.

I wish you the very best in your search.
