Kids Need Summer Camp

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 04, 2008 – Kids live hectic lives: school, sports, church, and
friends all crowd out the time where kids should be
kids. A time where kids can get a little muddy, ride
a horse, swim in a lake, hike down a deer trail, or
sit around a camp fire and talk about life.

According to Earl Taylor, Executive Director at Hidden
Acres Camp near Dayton, Iowa, "It is at camp that
children are able to forget about their schedule,
i-pods and video games and enjoy the moment of being
near God's creation. It is at camp that children grow
and mature in their perspectives and awareness of all
that creation teaches."

Camp is a teaching ground for social skills, outdoor
skills, spiritual development, and team participation.
Camp provides 5 to 6 days of intense interaction with
a counselor and a cabin of bunk mates. It is during
this week that many young people can begin a new
beginning, or make decisions that will affect their
adult life.

According to Taylor, "Hidden Acres provides college age trained counselors
that mentors kids with a positive influence.
Counselors are selected carefully to provide an
engaging, safe week for each boy and girl."

At Hidden Acres, campers can participate in camps from
Kindergarten through high school. In addition to the
regular camps, Hidden Acres provides several specialty
camps that include: paint ball, horse, basketball,
wilderness, fishing, shooting, volleyball, rappelling,
and green broke camp. Campers attend a 3, 5, or 6 day
session with 300 other campers. They attend chapels
twice a day, participate in small and large group
games,enjoy lake and pool activities, and cabin time
with their two trained counselors.
