1. Exploring Nature
Through Camping

2. There are many great reasons to consider sending
your child to an overnight summer camp.

3. They are going to meet new friends, learn how to handle
situations independently (while in a supervised
environment), and they will grow a little bit.

4. One of the biggest bonuses, though, is that sleepaway
camp allows kids to unplug and get in touch with nature.

5. In fact, some camps do not even allow kids to bring their
portable electronic devices because the whole point is to
experience camp, not spend yet another week watching
YouTube videos.

6. Here are some of the ways that campers
get in touch with nature.

7. Canoeing and Kayaking

8. Video games and other forms of entertainment sometimes
take away the actual reality of how life is.

9. When kids sit in a canoe or kayak for the first time
they are often surprised that it is very hard to row back
to shore.

10. This isn't because the center of a lake has some kind
of magnetic or gravitational pull, but because they rowed
out farther than they were prepared for.

11. With a little rest they make their way back.

12. Being on the water is a favorite for many of the kids who
go away, but the activity is not engaged in without learning
a fair level of respect …

13. … for how the elements are to be navigated as they build
muscles they didn't even know they had (or needed).

14. Hiking
and Climbing

15. Another popular activity is hiking.

16. While teenagers may love walking
to the mall for the sense of freedom
they can get being out of the house …

17. … being out in the woods offers a whole
new element of adventure, especially
when it is unknown territory.

18. While the campground is easy to
supervise, the kids don't know that,
and often feel as though
they are getting to be out on their own.

19. As they learn to avoid certain plants,
use sunscreen and bug spray, and dress
for protection from ticks and scratches,
they don't mind getting dirty.

20. In some instances, kids find some
decent climbing trees and may even
explore a modest rock face.

21. While it may not seem such like a great
feat to an adult, kids who live in the city
or suburbs don't normally get this kind
of opportunity, and it's a big deal.

22. Sleeping in Cabins

23. There is a lot to be said for sleeping in a cabin.

24. Aside from it being less luxurious than a home,
it is also connected to the outdoors.

25. This means that kids can step outside and see
thousands of stars in the sky.

26. On the one hand they can't get enough of how great
this new experience is, and on the other, they learn
to really appreciate what they have at home.

27. When kids go to camp they learn a great deal about
themselves and the world.

28. More than anything else, they also get to be in touch
with nature.

29. While some kids get to enjoy this experience regularly,
many who attend camp find that they have been missing out
on some of the best experiences in life!

30. If you're considering sending your child to an overnight
summer camp, be sure to visit our website to learn about
Camp Walt Whitman.

31. Located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire,
Camp Walt Whitman offers a safe, nurturing environment
in a beautiful mountain setting.

32. Our camp is a coed sleepaway camp, with separate
areas for boys and girls.

33. The kids have a blast, and make friendships that can
last a lifetime.
