Historically, summer camps have been an American institution since the early 1900's. In the early days camp was all about getting youngsters out of city life and enjoying the clean cool air of the country while learning camping skills.
Today, summer camp has progressed from campfires to computer screens and from nature trails to rollerblade rinks. In fact, many of today's camp programs take place in the heart of the city.
Camp provides children to take risks and try new things. The voluntary nature of camp allows children to be more open to new experiences, with personal satisfaction as their motivation. Trying new things is wonderful but camp also allows campers to work on excel at a task.
