• Summer break is the ideal time for kids to
  explore new interests and camp provides
• a safe environment where
• they can have the freedom they need to reach
  their
• full potential.

4

• While other vacation options may seem more
  family-friendly, they often lack the same full
  range of amenities
• that a quality
• summer camp provides.

5

• As you explore potential vacation ideas this
  summer, keep these benefits of summer camp in
  mind so that you can give your kid an adventure
  full of experiences that will last
• a lifetime.

6

• ENJOY STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES

7

• Most vacation venues offer 1 or 2 exciting things
  for kids to do. However, summer camp
• is equipped with facilities that encourage kids
  to try new things.

8

• From dance studios and indoor rock climbing walls
  to an outdoor miniature golf course and a lake,
  kids at summer camp wake up each day to a
  wide-open playground just waiting
• to be explored.

9

• While they think they are just having fun, you as
  a parent can know there are always fully trained
  staff members available who can keep them safe
  while challenging them to improve their skills.

10

• BUILD LIFELONG FRIENDSHIPS

11

• Kids at summer camp form
• an instant bond that is just different from the
  kinds of friends they make at school.

12

• Sharing classes, eating in the dining hall and
  spending all day together fosters a community
  that emphasizes showing kindness to everyone.

13

• Often, kids cannot wait to meet back up with
  their friends when summer camp begins again.

14

• ENCOURAGE NEW INTERESTS

15

• At summer camp, kids can strengthen their current
  skills
• in a favorite sport or hobby
• such as soccer and drama,
• or they can choose to explore something
  completely new.

16

• In fact, many kids have never had the opportunity
  to do things such as kayaking or swimming across
• a lake until they attend
• summer camp.

17

• Dance, drama, pottery
• and archery are just a few more interesting
  activities kids
• can enjoy at summer camp.

18

• DEVELOP LEADERSHIP SKILLS

19

• Kids vacation options are often filled with
  rules about what
• a kid cannot do
• Yet summer camp promotes independence for kids
  within
• a safe environment.

20

• At camp, kids take on greater responsibilities as
  they return each year.

21

• For example, an experienced camper may act as a
  Big Brother or Big Sister to a new camper and
  guide them through the first week of camp.

22

• Often, these same kids return
• to become Counselors in Training, and many camp
  staff members are alumni who love returning each
  summer.

23

• PARTICIPATE IN SPECIAL EVENTS

24

• Summer camp is never boring.
• In fact, special events
• are constantly being planned
• that add an extra element
• of excitement to an already
• fun-filled schedule.

25

• Whether kids are digging for gold
• or tie-dying t-shirts, they love having the
  opportunity to do something new.

26

• For many campers, family days are one of the most
  treasured events since that gives them
• an opportunity to show their families exactly how
  much they have learned and enjoyed
• at summer camp.

27

• Deciding where to send your son or daughter for
  their summer vacation is not something
• to be taken lightly.

28

• After all, the experiences
• your child has during
• the summer can also affect their academic success.

29

• This year, allow your child to enjoy greater
  independence while participating in kid-friendly
  activities that only a full summer camp program
  can provide.

30

• Let your kids enjoy summer camp fun
• at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

31

• Experienced staff will keep
• your child both safe and busy
• with chess, arts and crafts, games, water sports,
  gymnastics
• and more.
