Sweet Summertime: Two Reasons Why Your Child Needs Summer Camp

At Breakie Bunch Learning Center, we provide childcare for children under five, including infants and Preschool-aged children, but did you know that we also offer a summer camp for school-aged children, too?

 

That’s right! If you have kids in school and need somewhere for them to learn, grow, and play during the summer months, we’ve got a spot for them in our summer camp! Let’s take a look at what summer camp looks like at the Breakie Bunch Learning Center.

 

What Does Our Summer Camp Look Like?

Keeping the Learning Going Throughout the Summer

We believe that it’s essential that whatever childcare or summer camp you choose, you choose one that allows your child to continue growing, learning, and using their brains every day. While summer is a time for fun, it’s still possible to learn and grow in the skills that are vital for school-aged children when they return to school in the fall. There are two ways we can reinforce these behaviors at summer camp. Let’s take a look at those now:

 

  1. Summer camp allows kids to form long-lasting friendships
  2. Consistent physical activity provides countless health benefits

 

  1. Summer Camp Allows Kids to Form Long-Lasting Friendships

In a world full of distractions like phones, video games, iPads, apps, and other distracting technology, it can be hard to get kids to unplug in the summer months. However, it’s proven that one of the best things to come out of summer camps is the friendships made. Often, these bonds last longer than summer and extend well beyond into the school year and for years to come.

 

To succeed in many summer camp activities, kids are encouraged to bond and work together for a common goal. Not only will they make new friends, but they will also work on those much-needed social skills, often without realizing it.

 

  1. Consistent Physical Activity Provides Countless Health Benefits

Another reason we love summer camp for school-aged children is the physical activities they get to participate in. We think it is so important to keep their brains engaged in the summer, but even more than that, their bodies, too! To do that, we like to incorporate fun activities like t-ball, bounce houses, water play, and so much more to get kids up and moving, even if they don’t realize what they’re doing is really considered exercise.
