Have you ever wanted to send your child to a Summer Camp but worry they might be too young?
If you think your youngest child is too young for Summer Camps, think again. At United Education, we understand that the early years are an incredibly important time in your child’s social, intellectual, and physical development. Summer Camps ensure that children continue to flourish during the most critical development years of their lives. But what are the real benefits of attending a Summer Camp? Read on to find out.
Physical Activity
We know that children seem to have an inexhaustible amount of energy. It is clear that physical activity has far-reaching benefits to children’s physical and mental health. Regular physical activity has also been shown to help ease anxiety, tantrums and even regulate their sleep schedule! On Summer Camps there is no shortage of exercise. Your children will be coming home happy and exhausted at the end of the day.
New Skills
Children’s brains at this age are constantly evolving and adapting. Young Children love variety and on our Summer Camps they will have the opportunity to try lots of activities that they may have never done before. With so much to choose from, it can be a great opportunity to spark a future interest and passion for something new. Play is incredibly important to a child’s development. It allows them to explore their imagination and express their thoughts and emotions.
Social Development
Joining a Summer Camp presents young children with endless real-life opportunities to learn from others. Learning to interact with other children (including sharing and taking turns) is a huge benefit of attending Camp. Children will be introduced to a new group of friends. They will have the chance to socialise with children from different backgrounds. Interacting with a diverse group from a young age is a great way to teach vital life lessons such as tolerance and respect. In the last year, children have had very limited peer group exposure. For us, bringing children back together feels more important than ever.
Independence
Summer Camps are a great practice run for younger children before school starts. A day packed full of fun and friendship might seem less daunting than starting school. Camp also introduces children to concepts such as schedules and interacting with other children in a group setting. This provides them with a preview of some elements of school life in a relaxed and fun way.
