Summer is a time of endless possibilities. For kids & teens, it's the perfect break from the school year to relax, explore new interests, and build lifelong memories. And for parents? It's an opportunity to provide their children with experiences that shape their growth and character. That’s where summer camp comes in - a perfect mix of fun, learning, and adventure. If you’re considering whether summer camp is the right fit for your child in 2025, we’re here to tell you: it could be their most unforgettable adventure yet!
Here are 7 reasons why parents should consider sending their children to camp in the summer of 2025:
In a world dominated by screens, getting kids to disconnect from their devices and experience the outdoors can be a challenge. Summer camp is the perfect way to give your child the digital detox they didn’t even know they needed. From hiking in our woods and countryside to swimming in our state of the art indoor swimming pool, your child will enjoy the wonders of nature while forming a deeper appreciation for the environment and first class facilities.
Camp is an ideal place to make new friends from all walks of life. The shared experiences—whether it's around a campfire, during group challenges, or at a camp dance - build bonds that last. Children learn how to work together, communicate better, and create connections that can last far beyond the summer months. Who knows? They might come back talking non-stop about their new best friend from the other side of the world!
While camp is definitely about fun and adventure, it’s also a place where children gain valuable life skills. From learning how to paddleboard or start a fire, to mastering problem-solving during team activities, your child will return home more independent, confident, and equipped with new skills they never imagined they could achieve.
There’s nothing quite like seeing your child come home from camp with a newfound confidence. Whether they’ve learned how to cook over a fire, scaled a climbing wall, or performed in front of their peers at a talent show, camp pushes kids outside their comfort zones in the best ways possible. By overcoming challenges and discovering new talents, they’ll see that they’re capable of more than they ever imagined.
At camp, kids have a chance to make their own decisions in a safe and supportive environment. They partly manage their own schedules, make choices about how to spend their free time, and can take on leadership roles in group activities. By encouraging your child to make independent decisions, summer camp fosters personal responsibility and helps prepare them for the challenges of life ahead.
Summer camp isn’t just about fun—it’s also a fantastic way to keep kids active during the summer. Instead of being glued to their screens at home, they’ll be in the water, playing sports, wall climbing, or even learning how to throw and axe. With days packed with physical activities, kids stay fit while having a blast. Not to mention, when the English Summer decides to happen, they’ll be outside soaking in that much-needed Vitamin D!
Let’s face it: summer break can be long for parents. By sending your child to camp, you’re not only giving them an incredible experience, but you’re also giving yourself a well-deserved break. Knowing that your child is in good hands, making friends, and learning new skills, allows you to focus on yourself—whether that means a quiet weekend getaway or catching up on projects you’ve put on hold.
