Every child is unique and gifted in various ways. The personalities and characteristics are on full display from day one and only grow more pronounced as they get older.
By the time they reach elementary school, it’s abundantly clear that no two children are the same. Each child approaches summer camp uniquely as well.
While some are ready for a week away from home at an overnight resident camp at a young age, others may need a year or two longer before they are ready. Middle schoolers are ready to take on more advanced skills and activities and deserve their own camp experience. Young leaders and those with a heart for service may want a way to serve together with their friends from their youth groups.
What are your plans for the summer? As we approach the mid-way point of the semester, that’s one of the questions you are probably hearing if you’re a college student.
While we all want to plan to spend the summer relaxing at the beach or hanging out with friends, for many of us, we know we’re going to spend the summer working hard to save a few dollars for the next school year.
When it comes to summer jobs for college students, there are stereotypical positions like barista, server, retail cashier, and babysitter for which you might not be excited to apply. You know you’ll be counting down the days, hoping to make enough money to help pay for part of the costs of your education, such as tuition, rent, and food.
It is the busiest time of the school year for students and parents. While children have homework assignments and studying to do, parents are under pressure to make sure their children keep up with their schoolwork. This is on top of cooking, cleaning, and providing shuttle service to and from extracurricular activities.
It might be difficult to even think about summer plans at this point in the semester. However, the end of the school year is in sight, and warmer weather is on the way. If you want to ensure your child has a great summer, you should consider signing them up for summer camp.
In this article, we want to help you answer the question of whether summer camp is right for your child.
As a multi-generational operation, Camp Loy White has positively impacted members of the community for almost sixty years. Long-time staff and former campers continue returning to this sacred space bringing along children and grandchildren with whom they hope to create precious memories comparable to their time at Camp Loy White. The mission with which the camp was created still reigns true: reconnecting people with nature through curiosity and adventure, offering a place to find stillness in the midst of a chaotic world, encouraging individuals to explore their faith or spirituality, and supporting any neighbor in need. Though the name has since changed to Tekoa Foothills, the original principles established a vein of truth that flows through the structure of the camp as a core design.
