Although it may feel like spring only just started, when it comes to planning for your child’s summer camp you can never be too early. Soon enough summer will be upon us, so it’s best to choose a good camp that offers a combination of fun and learning to fully stimulate your child’s brain and body during the school holidays. Summer Camp Providence offers an exciting mix of educational and entertainment activities for children aged 5 to 12.
Fun in the Sun
School is out and the summer has started, which means your kids just want to have fun. Unfortunately, parents don’t get the same summer vacations as their children do, so it can be difficult to find ways to entertain your children and juggle a demanding work life at the same time. Camp providers understand that summer can be difficult to navigate as a parent, which is why Providence Children’s Academy offers a day camp program that is beneficial for you and enjoyable for your child.
One of the best parts of summer camp is the amount of fun children have playing outside. Safe, outdoor play is an integral part of growing up and allows children to flex their muscles, so to speak. They become more confident with their bodies and their ability to overcome obstacles and work in groups or teams, which in turn improves their communication skills and allows them to socialize with others in a happy, healthy environment.
Because Summer Camp Providence is based in Florida, some of the most fun children can have is playing in the water (with sunblock, of course). If they can’t already swim the children will be taught how to so that they don’t miss out on trips to the water park or fun in the pool.
Learning is Fun
Although children might associate learning with schoolbooks and homework, the educational activities at summer camp are very different from the classroom. Children are taught using play as an educational medium in order to show them that learning can be fun too. They are encouraged to experience nature from an educational standpoint while also playing outdoors, and are taught about the birds and butterflies that they can see with their own eyes.
