Summer camps: what are they and could they provide you with opportunities?
The possibilities are almost endless when it comes to summer camp activities for kids – from countless bushcraft skills to sports, art, crafts and more, to say there’s something for everyone is certainly no understatement. But, it doesn't end there. Summer camps are also home to incredible and unique opportunities for those who are fortunate enough to find them selves working at them. So, whether you’re entertaining a group this summer yourself or you simply want to find out how your child might be spending their time at camp this year, this blog is all about giving you the knowledge to unlock a true understanding of summer camps.
Holiday camps allow children to interact with others they may not have met before allowing them to build new relationships that could last a lifetime! Time on camp can really enhance a child’s life experiences at a young age by opening up a whole new world of opportunity to learn new skills. Beyond this, camps provide an equally fantastic social opportunity for staff. Everyone is there with a similar goal: to make unforgettable memories and provide the best service.
Holiday camp providers cater for everyone’s interest, whether that be sports, arts and crafts, bushcraft or even specialist courses in cookery, engineering and so much more. Again, camps are genuinely a space to nurture all minds and interests. It's not only the children who are there to meet people with similar interests to themselves - it's the staff too.
Led by teams of Activity Instructors who bring a whole new level of energy, knowledge and enthusiasm to camp each day, children can’t help but be engaged and enjoy their time on camp.
It’s safe to say by the end of the day, everyone on camp will need a good sleep ready for another day of fun activities on camp. No day is ever the same with weekly themes, so no matter what point at which the children join in on a holiday camp they can be sure to have some fun activities planned that bring new experiences. The beauty of this is that the people who are lucky enough to work at camps are involved in every stage of this. Every single person makes a difference at summer camps.
Not only do camps open up opportunities for children, but we have seen so many success stories from staff members building a successful career and progressing within the sports coaching world, whether that’s Operations Management, Regional management and running new different areas of the business.
Summer camps are definitely underrated. They are magical places that provide opportunities unlike anywhere else.
