3 Ways Summer Camp Prepares Kids for Adulthood

Summer camp is a quintessential necessity for any child. Whether they attend camp for one year, or continue throughout their high school years, it’s an experience that can’t be matched. Although participating in activities such as sports may be more entertainment-driven for your children, it’s actually teaching them life skills.


Skill 1: Organization
Just like school or an office environment, Miss Sue’s Summer Fun runs on a daily schedule filled with exciting activities that all campers and counselors will adhere to. For instance, there are certain times penciled in for lunch, games, classes and more. This keeps campers in tip-top shape when adjusting to any new environment that relies on a schedule.

Skill 2: Leadership

One of the most pertinent skills campers learn is leadership. Whether they’re leading their team in a scavenger hunt, or they’re leading their team to victory in basketball, campers are developing their leadership skills in full force. This is a crucial skill to learn because it helps them dive into any environment with a sense of direction, and an open mind.

Skill 3: Teamwork

In the same realm as leadership, teamwork is highly essential in any environment that campers interact in. Whether it be at school, camp or an office in the future, it’s the most crucial skill to have and maintain. Think about it: some of the world’s greatest innovations were implemented, and made a reality because of teamwork. Afterall, as the old saying goes: “there’s no ‘I’ in team” — and that still remains true to this very day.

When you choose Miss Sue’s Summer Program, you can rest assured knowing that your child will have a fun summer, while also building the knowledge, skills, and confidence to have a successful future. To learn more about the program, give us a call at 516-366-5623.
