Summer camp brings to mind long days spent running wild and free in an outdoor environment.

While it is true that kids spend a lot of their time engaged in physical activity, it is also important to know that summer camp programs are designed to spark a child’s imagination.

In addition to the traditional camp crafts, kids are encouraged to develop their creative abilities through activities that fit a variety of interests.

IMPORTANCE OF IMAGINATIVE PLAY

Today’s kids are inundated with experiences that limit their ability to use their imaginations.

For example, schools are often so focused on teaching academics that they cut programs such as drama and art.

Unfortunately, this puts kids at a disadvantage because an imagination is essential for developing the creative skills that lead to success in adulthood.

Imaginative play opens up doors for them to learn valuable lessons that build upon critical skills such as problem solving…

…and it also serves as an outlet for relieving stress that frees kids’ minds so that they can focus on developing their talents.
