Darline Yatim Explains Summer Camp at SHARC

SHREWSBURY, Mass. - May 5, 2014 - PRLog -- Less than 8 weeks until school is out for the Summer!  How many times will you have to say get off your electronics and go play outside?  How much work can you actually get done with your kids in the house the entire day?  It can be easy for your children to lose motivation without a set schedule during their break. So, why not give them a little fun (and some time for you) and enroll them in SUMMER CAMP this year that will be a one stop shop for fitness and fun!

Not Your Average Summer Camp

Whether it consumes their summer or gives them a little something to do a few days of week- the benefits of sending your child to a day or overnight camp goes far beyond keeping them busy. Finding a summer camp that fits specifically to your child’s personality and needs will determine what they are going to take away from the experience. For example, a camp that merely organizes games and activities to keep the kids distracted shouldn’t be what you’re looking for. Rather seek out a facility that has councilors and programs that are actually going to teach them something.

Getting the most bang for your buck at camp

Sure there are plenty of camps that are at a very low cost and will keep your kids out of the house from sun up to sun down. When it comes to enrolling your kid in camp, you really get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a babysitter, this may be the best approach as your kids will be supervised but not motivated or most importantly, not challenged.

So when looking for the right fit for your little one, tween or teen- make sure that there is an educational element in the camp programs. Whether it be team building exercises or taking on a new sport, your kids will be acquiring new skills while making new friends! Find a camp that offers a variety of activities.  So what are some of the perks of sending your kids to summer camp at a facility like SHARC?

Independence: Your children will learn how to make decisions on their own without parental guidance – this will begin to build their independence early on.  In addition, they’re learning and interacting with peers their age rather than spending time playing video games ‘til the first day back to school!

Heath Awareness:  The key to a healthy lifestyle is the balance of nutrition and exercise. Your children will have the ability to master both skills at SHARC’s summer camp! As much as it is important to keep the kids moving, it is more important that they understand WHY. You can teach a child how to not drown, but you can also teach them how to become a strong and confident swimmer. We find the latter to be more important- so why not have your children supervised and instructed by skilled professionals?  In addition, nutrition plays a key role in the health habits of kids. It’s important to find a facility that finds both elements to be extremely important and better yet- offers lunch!
