Summer Camp Information

Article Category: Parenting

Author Name: Jeff Lorenz

There is a lot of summer camp information online. A summer camp is basically a supervised program for teenagers and/or children done normally in summer. Participants are called campers. Joining a camp is usually the first time in young people's lives to be away from home for an extended period of time. The traditional idea of a camp involves canoeing, hiking, and campfire activities. At present, summer camps have evolved and they are now conducted with various themes.

Today, you can find a camp specifically for music, performing arts, language learning, magic, mathematics, and even for weight loss or for children with special needs. According to the American Camp Association, about 75% of all camps now have included new programs in their schedules. This move is intended to address the concern on dwindling enrollment due to the growing popularity of electronic media, smaller family sizes, and the development of supplemental education programs.

Most kids summer camps are primarily intended for cultural development or for educational purposes. With proper parental consent, the youth are encouraged to take healthy risks in nurturing and safe environments. All activities are supervised by trained staff and medical teams are always on standby in case emergencies arise.

Some youth summer camps have religious affiliations like those offered by Evangelical Christian denominations, and various sects of Judaism. The sleepaway campers are usually children of church members although in some cases, even non-members of the church residing in the same community may be allowed to participate.

Camp information brochures discuss how the camp activities are conducted and supervised. Adult supervisors are known as camp counselors or cabin leaders. Each counselor is usually tasked to lead a small group of campers in various group activities. These small groups are called cabins, huts, units, or bunks.

Usually, the camp counselors recruited for volunteer work are in their early twenties or late teens, and may be college or high school students on their school break. In camps, the counselors normally live together with their units although they may share sleeping quarters with other counselors.

In some programs, the participants are sent home every night. These are known as day camps. Overnight camps, on the other hand, are those where the campers are allowed to stay overnight. Some camps, however, allow both overnight and day campers. In the United States, the campers usually stay in resident camps or sites that offer overnight facilities. It is after all, the traditional concept of youth camps in the country.

The practice of running children's camps may have begun in 1876 in the Alps where holiday camps were set up by Pastor Bion. The camps were intended for the recreation of children and to allow them to have holidays away from home. The kids performed drama, sang songs, played adventure games, assembled and flew kites, and made tree houses. However, no camp information can confirm if the camps in the US have developed from Pastor Bion's model. The origins of the American youth camps are generally believed to be from another cultural root.
