The lessons learned at summer camp last far longer than a single season.
After all, the activities kids engage in at camp are designed to stimulate learning and character development that influences the rest of their life.
Kids also build upon the skills that they learned the previous summer when they return for the new session.
This year, consider these valuable lessons that your kids will learn at camp that last a lifetime.
Make Lifelong Friends
On opening day at camp, there is always excitement in the air as kids meet up with old friends and instantly form new friendships.
After a summer of bonding, many kids even continue their friendships throughout the school year through phone calls and texts.
Then, kids who return to camp each year get to grow up with their friends, and these friendships often continue long after the kids mature into adults.
Cultivate Healthy Habits
The days at summer camp are filled with physical activity. Kids also enjoy a healthy menu that begins with a full breakfast to help jumpstart their energy levels.
During the course of a summer, kids are exposed to activities such as wakeboarding, hiking and whitewater rafting. This teaches kids that exercise does not have to mean spending hours on a boring treadmill.
Instead, kids learn to move their bodies while having fun. Since the majority of sports that kids engage in at camp can be continued once they become adults, this type of training leads to a lifetime commitment to better health.
Discover a Love for Nature
Kids today are exposed to vast amounts of technology that can lead to them spending hours stuck to a screen.
At summer camp, kids are encouraged to unplug, and they quickly discover that there is a world just waiting to be explored.
Learning to love the outdoors gives kids a unique view of nature that inspires them to continue to care for the environment.
Spending time in green spaces also helps to decrease depression and anxiety so that kids learn healthy ways to promote better mental health throughout their life.
Develop Inner Strength
It takes courage to try to stand up on water skis for the first time or perform a new trick on the silk ropes hanging high above the gymnastics mat.
Yet, this is the type of thing that kids do at camp every single day.
Somehow, tackling a challenge is just easier at camp where kids rely upon the encouragement of their coaches and fellow campers.
With every challenge met, kids develop their confidence, and this brave mindset is exactly what they need to be successful in the adult world where taking safe risks is sometimes necessary to advance in their career.
Hone Leadership Skills
One of the biggest goals parents have is to raise kids who are independent adults.
After a few summers at camp, heading off to college or applying for that first job just doesn’t seem so scary.
Campers are also provided with opportunities to step into leader roles. Whether they head up a hike or perform captain duties on their sports team, every kid has the chance to learn how to manage a group of their peers.
Once their camp days are finished, these kids can transfer their leadership skills to the workplace.
Summer camp only lasts for a few weeks each year, but your kids experience personal growth that influences their personality.
This year, send your kids to Canadian Adventure Camp and watch as they come back transformed by the experiences they have that teach them skills they will use for the rest of their life.

The search for the perfect camp for your child involves researching factors such as the programs that are offered as well as the location.
While outdoor activities and sports programs are what make summer camp so exciting, you should also keep in mind that the camper-to-staff ratio plays a big role in your child’s enjoyment of their time at camp.
Remember this information regarding ratios at camp in mind so you can ask questions that will help you find the ideal program for your child’s next summer adventure.
Understand the Different Staff Roles
There are many different adult roles at summer camp that all work together to create the ideal environment for your child to learn and thrive.
The camp directors oversee all the camp programs, and they are directly responsible for making sure that every element of your child’s session is implemented with safety and age-appropriateness in mind.
Your child’s camp may also have directors of the different sports programs along with coaches who work on teaching kids the skills they need to succeed in their favorite athletic pursuits.
Finally, camp counselors spend most of the day with the campers in their group, and they even share cabins and meals together.
Know the Recommendations for Ratios
The ideal ratio for campers and staff members varies according to the type of camp programs that are offered as well as any special needs that exist among the campers.
However, you should expect that a quality summer camp has approximately one staff member for every six campers that are between the ages of six to eight, or for every 9 campers that are between nine and 14 years old.
Keep in mind that these are the minimum best practices for ratios, and high-quality summer camps aim to keep their ratios even lower, since more adult involvement helps nurture children’s development.
Improve Safety Standards
Camp programs and the equipment that kids use should always be designed with safety in mind. Yet, adult supervision is one of the best ways to ensure that campers stay safe while they are away from home.
In addition to keeping a low staff to camper ratio, your child’s camp should make sure that every adult on duty is trained in first aid and CPR.
Coaches and other staff members that teach sports or adventure programs should have further training regarding their specialty area.
Promote Positive Role Modeling
While your kid is at camp, they are not just learning skills such as acrobatics for their gymnastics competitions. They are also developing character traits that stay with them for life.
A smaller camp to staff ratio allows for coaches and counselors to pay more attention to the emotional needs of each camper.
For instance, a counselor with only a few kids in their group will quickly notice a conflict and help show the campers how to work it out using positive communication skills.
Small ratios also help kids to feel closer to their cabin counselors so that they know they have someone they can trust to talk to if they feel homesick.
Summer camp is such a flurry of activity and excitement that it is easy to overlook all the serious work that the adults put into making the programs safe and enjoyable for the kids.
This year, make sure that your child’s camp makes keeping a low ratio a priority so that you can know they will get the most out of the program.

Campfires ignite a sense of camaraderie among family and friends that fills the heart with warmth and there is just something amazing that happens when everyone gathers around the fire pit for a sing-a-long. Kids often request a campfire at home during the months when summer camp is NOT in session, and it’s easy to host your own when you use these strategies.
PREP YOUR FIRE PIT
At summer camp, a campfire often takes place in a natural ring that has been used for many seasons. However, you need to plan your campfire to take place in an area that won’t harm the ground.
Fire pits are a great option for home campfires that help keep them contained, or you could host yours inside if you prefer to use the fireplace. Whichever one you choose, make sure that you have logs on hand along with your preferred method for starting the campfire.
PLAN A FEW SNACKS
One of the reasons why kids love campfires so much is that they are the ideal place to roast a few marshmallows or hot dogs. Make sure to have some roasting sticks on hand along with the ingredients for snacks that you know everyone will love.
For example, you can never go wrong with some graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate so that everyone can make s’mores. You can also plan beverages such as hot apple cider or cocoa to give everyone something to sip on if the evening is chilly.
INVITE YOUR FRIENDS
You can host or your campfire with just your family, but they are always more fun when more people gather. Send out invitations to your friends to let them know about your plans to host a campfire. Then, encourage them to dress up like campers and be ready to reenact one of their favorite camp experiences.
To increase the excitement, consider snail mailing the invites just like you would a letter from summer camp.
ENCOURAGE SINGING
As you invite your friends, let them know to bring their favorite campfire instruments. A few guitars, harmonicas or even homemade kazoos all add a special touch to the ambiance. Once everyone is gathered, start off a few classic campfire songs, or you can teach your friends the favorite songs that you love to sing at summer camp.
KEEP SAFETY IN MIND
Although campfires are fun, you must remember to make safety a priority. Remember the rules that you learned at camp, and always make sure that an adult helps to start the fire. Then, encourage everyone to stay a safe distance away as they roast marshmallows and sing songs around the fire.
At home, you should also keep a fire extinguisher and water hose ready in case an errant spark escapes the pit. When you have an itch to head back to camp, hosting your own campfire at home can help you stay calm while you wait for the next session to open, and it gives you a chance to show off what you have learned in summer camp.
In fact, you may even discover that the friends you invite to your campfire get excited about the prospect of joining you at summer camp this season.

Summer camp represents independence and freedom for kids who embrace the opportunity to spend several weeks away from home. Yet, new and younger campers sometimes need a little help getting over those jitters that accompany trying something new. Now that the opening date for summer camp is just around the corner, you can use these strategies to help your child prepare emotionally for a fun-filled season.
Plan a Practice Session
While you might not be able to send your child to camp until the season opens, you can still find ways for them to practice spending the night away from home. For younger children, ask a family member or a close friend if your child can stay at their house for a night or two. This gives both you and your child a chance to get used to spending time apart overnight. And you can ask for a report from your loved one that helps you gauge your child’s readiness.
Get Them Excited About the Activities
Camp is the one place where kids can try out tons of new activities they would never be able to do at home. After all, most families just don’t have aerial hoops hanging in a state-of-the-art gym. And your kid would never be able to go waterskiing in the backyard pool. Talk to your children about a few of the amazing things they will get to try this summer. Then, watch some videos online of people performing tricks in your child’s favorite sport. You might also help them practice a few skills that they can do at home to increase the excitement. For instance, your little gymnast could practice stretching to prepare for their trampoline training.
Let Them Know They Can Reach Out
Up until this point, your son or daughter has always known that they could reach you easily any time they needed help. While you know that you are still just a short trip away, your little camper may worry about how they will handle things on their own. Typically, summer camp programs encourage parents to limit phone calls. This allows kids to have a chance to develop their independence. However, you can still set it up so that your kid can send special messages to you online using their summer camp’s email service. Once that is set up, help them pick out some awesome stationary and stock them up on stamps so that they know it’s possible to let you know how things are going.
Take Technology Breaks
While homesickness is always a concern, kids today also worry about leaving behind their online social life. If your child is used to turning to their smartphone to relieve boredom or catch up with an old friend, then help them start to break the habit now by implementing technology breaks at home. Grab some board games, books and art supplies to keep your kid busy, or encourage them to get out of the house and go for a bike ride. Either way, he or she will be better able to walk away from their electronic devices without suffering from feelings of withdrawal.
Whether your kid is going to camp for the first time or just seems a little nervous this year, keep in mind that they are also looking to you to figure out how to feel. As you talk to them about their upcoming season, remember to reflect confidence and excitement about the many adventures offered at their new home away from home.

Your cabin mates are the people that you spend the most time with at camp, and you may just find your future best friend sleeps in the bunk next to yours. While it can seem strange at first to share a cabin with kids that you don’t know, you’ll quickly discover how fast you form friendships when you use these tips to get along with your new group.
Understanding How Cabin Groups Are Picked
The staff at your camp has spent many years getting to know how to make the best cabin groups. Typically, there are about eight kids to a cabin with an adult counselor who helps to make sure that things run smoothly. In most cases, cabin groups are put together based upon age and gender, but you might be able to request having a friend share your cabin if you have someone special in mind.
Getting to Know Your New Cabin Mates
The first few days at camp are spent getting to know your new cabin mates, and you can do your part to get along by just being friendly. If you notice a new camper who looks homesick or shy, then say hello and invite them to take part in an activity. New campers can also make friends faster by introducing themselves right away, and your camp counselor will hold meetings that involve chances to get to know everyone.
Respecting Each Other’s Space
When multiple people share the same space, it’s important to learn how to respect personal boundaries. Since most cabins are just one big open room, a person’s bunk becomes their personal space. As you set up your bunk area, remember that you should avoid doing things that could upset your cabin mate. For instance, you should always ask if you can borrow something instead of taking it, even if the other person is your best friend.
Building a Lasting Bond
The best friendships are the ones that are based upon shared experiences. Your cabin group will host special events and activities such as competitions that give you all a chance to work together as a team. Be sure to take part in these activities, and remember that it’s often those special moments that you spend together in the evenings that help you build lasting friendships.
Learning How to Resolve Conflicts
Anytime multiple people share the same living space, conflicts can arise. While no one likes to get in an argument with their cabin mate, it is possible to quickly resolve the issue without hurting anyone’s feelings. If someone upsets you, avoid things such as name-calling that don’t help the issue. Instead, use your good communication skills to ask them to talk about the situation. For issues that are too hard to fix on your own, your camp counselor is always ready to give you both neutral advice that helps you renew your friendship.
Keeping Friendships Alive Between Camp Sessions
Sleeping in your own room feels weird after a summer at camp. After all, you get used to those late night chats and giggles before you fall asleep. Even though the summer eventually ends, that doesn’t mean that your friendships must wait until the next season. Before you leave camp, make plans to call each other or send texts so that you can keep your friendship going throughout the year.
Cabin life is a classic part of going to camp that gives you a chance to form long lasting friendships. Now that you know how to get along with your cabin mates, you can look forward to making new friends that make your summer the best.

Summer camp is something kids never want to forget. Meeting new friends, bouncing on the trampoline, giggling with cabinmates or having fun at the lake make camp days a warm memory.
As summer ends and school starts, summer camp memories can be compiled in a scrapbook.
Your camp photos, brochures, postcards, collected feathers and flowers, and really anything you have collected, can be organized creatively in one place to remember the warmth of the good times any time.
Digital Scrapbooking
If you want to make a digital scrapbook, there are amazing apps available to help you create unique pages and cards. Afterwards, you can share the designed pages to your social accounts such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
Simply add your camp photos and choose from the elements in the app like stars, bows, emoticons, and text. Most apps offer drag and drop options so that you can edit and design your scrapbook on your phone.
Some of the most well-known digital scrapbooking apps are the following...
- Digital Scrapbooking App – this app has over 500 elements. Editing photos are made simpler by using drag, drop and zoom options.
- Pixlr – the impressive free effects, filters, and overlays make this app famous. It instantly turns your mobile phone into a powerful photo editor.
- Pic Collage – if you want to create great scrapbook pages with your phone, this app is perfect. It has loads of stickers, layouts, and templates that you can use for your photos. You can also add text to your photos with this app.
Traditional Scrapbooking
Kids love to show off their artistic prowess and paste in the memories of the fun-filled days. To create a scrapbook, you can either purchase blank pre-made books which are available in craft stores or, if you love creating something from scratch, you can make your own and buy a ring to bind the pages together. There are pre-designed online materials where you can add your photos and print the pages to add to your collection.
You can designate a few pages for your friends’ autographs. Other pages can be details of each summer camp adventure, such as hiking, canoeing, or a stunning photo showing your acquired aerial skills. Add in written memories alongside the photos for a personal touch.
You can decorate the borders of each page. Drawing on the borders with colorful pens is one technique, although some uses cut-outs to beautify the page edges. Embellishing each page depends on the theme of the page, too. For instance, if a page is dedicated to your wakeboarding adventures, you can add photos of beautiful Lake Temagami or a pic of your wakeboard.
Conclusion
Scrapbooking is a fun way to preserve wonderful summer camp memories. There are countless ways to decorate the pages, but you might like these fancy ideas by Martha Stewart. Enjoy your memories and treasure them as you eagerly await your next summer camp adventure.

Maintaining Summer Camp Friendships Throughout the Year
One big part of what makes campers and counselors enjoy camp is meeting new friends. Riding horses, creating colorful tie-dye shirts, joining wakeboarding adventures and conquering the wall climbing challenge is so much fun with a camp mate.
Friendships at camp have a unique connection and friends become family. However, the challenge lies in how you can keep the connection alive even after summer ends.
Making Lasting Friends at Summer Camp
Summer camp is a perfect place to meet your future best friend. Some confess a 30-year connection from a cabin mate. Others even spend holidays together.
What makes a relationship from camp different? It’s the fact that kids chose who they want to connect with while being away from their parents for an extended time.
They get to face fun and exciting challenges in a new environment with a new friend with whom they feel connected. A kid trying wakeboarding for the first time may feel the adventure is nerve-wracking. But finding someone who feels the same way during the activity can make them feel more at ease.
At camp there are no labels. There are no judgments. Each child can show who they really are and find someone who will accept them as they are. Children are free to let go of the troubles they may be facing and be who they want to be. This makes summer camp friendships meaningful and long-lasting – because there is no pretention.
Keeping the Connection After Camp
Sadly, the summer season ends, and school year comes. You can keep friendships alive with these ideas:
- Stay in Contact
Maintaining friendship is not as difficult as it might seem. Keeping in touch regularly can keep your relationship alive even with distance. Before leaving camp, get the contact details of your cabin mates. Intentionally text them every now and then. Ask them how they are doing in school and at home. Never ignore their text messages and respond when you can. Such actions will show how much you care for them.
- Connecting Through Social Media
Nowadays, the simplest and most direct way to reconnect with someone is via social media. If you forgot to get your cabin mate’s social profile, you can simple search them by name.
- Attend Camp Reunions
Most summer camps host reunions. Don’t miss attending these occasions. It is the perfect time to reconnect with your camp friends. Invite them to attend too - you can even to go together if you live nearby.
- Write Letters and Send Gifts
Writing letters or sending postcards can be a lot more special than sending a simple text message. It’s heartwarming to receive a letter from your camp BFF from camp.
Sending gifts for your friend’s birthday or special occasions shows you care. Presents are personal. You can send it together with an old funny camp photo to personalize your gift.
Conclusion
Summer camp will always be a childhood highlight in your scrapbook of life. Friends at camp leave a mark in anyone’s heart. Keep the friendship alive and look forward to meeting again next year at summer camp.

As overnight summer camp draws closer, it is normal for most kids to feel a little nervous about leaving home.
First-time and younger campers are more prone to feeling anxious about camp, but you might also find that even your experienced camper demonstrates some hesitation.
While we all know that every summer camper is going to have the time of their life this season, you also need to let your child know that their emotions are valid.
These tips will help you soothe your nervous camper and get them excited about the adventures that lie ahead.
Show Them How You Can Communicate
Your child may be worried about being unable to reach you whenever they want. Reassure your child that our staff will always let them call you in an emergency.
We also encourage you and your child to communicate through our Bunk1 email system. Show them what the stationery looks like and how you can send notes each day online.
You can also still send handwritten letters the old-fashioned way. With multiple ways to communicate, your child never has to worry about letting you know how camp is going.
Fill Them In On the Details
Kids often fear the unknown. Your child may be wondering what they will eat or where they will sleep.
Avoid talking about summer camp using vague language. Instead, share specific details such as that they will share their cabin with around 8 campers and a counselor.
You can also show them things such as a sample menu on our website so that they have a better idea of what to expect.
Set Exciting Goals
Most kids go to camp to make friends and enjoy new experiences that they can’t get at home.
Setting goals together gives you a chance to talk about the highlights of summer camp. Your child may decide that this is the summer when they will finally learn how to waterski. They can also set a goal to learn how to play a new instrument or win a competition.
Shop Together for Summer Camp Supplies
Kids feel better when they they know that they have what they need to be comfortable somewhere new.
While your child doesn’t need to bring much to summer camp, getting organized can help them to feel ready for the big day.
Consider shopping for a new duffel bag to hold their gear, or find the perfect swimsuit for swimming in the lake. Having some camp supplies at home helps your child begin to feel prepared to leave for Adventure Island.
Start a Journal
Journaling is a great outlet for your child’s emotions. Help them pick out a journal, and encourage them to make a pre-camp entry.
Writing about their worries helps them to let their anxiety out, and listing a few goals helps them to feel more excited about the future.
Your child can then bring their journal to camp, where they can continue to write about their adventures. By the end of the summer, they’ll enjoy looking at how far they came with overcoming their anxiety.
The Excitement of Opening Day
Remember that nervousness may come and go over the upcoming weeks. Be sure to check in with your child regularly, and continue to address their concerns.
Soon, you can both look forward to the opening day of summer camp, when kids are so focused on fun that they’ll wonder why they were ever worried in the first place!

A summer spent as a camp counselor is one that is bound to be full of adventure. On top of gaining valuable work experience, you get to spend your days enjoying the great outdoors.
You should also be proud of your position. We only pick the best of the best to join our team.
Our summer camp counselors stand out for being responsible and enthusiastic. They know that each camper looks to them as a role model, and a huge part of your job is making sure that every child feels safe in your care.
As you get ready for the summer, be thinking bout these 5 ways that you can be an outstanding counselor every day.
#1 Put Safety First
The parents of our campers trust you with their child’s safety around the clock. We’ll spend time covering the essentials of safety such as first aid and CPR throughout your time as a counselor.
However, we also want you to think about safety constantly. Keep an eye out for signs of an accident that could happen. If you notice a risk, then take action right away. We’d much rather prevent an accident than have someone get hurt on our watch.
#2 Make Your Campers the Priority
Every member of our staff is important, but the children are every adult’s priority.
It’s often the little things that make a huge difference. Make sure to connect with each of your campers individually each day. Get up early so that you can be ready before you give the children in the bunk their wake up call.
You’ll also want to take note of things, such as who looks homesick, so that you can give them that extra bit of encouragement that helps them feel better.
#3 Stay on Top of Your Game
Outstanding camp counselors also know how to take care of themselves. Try to avoid staying up too late. You’ll be more alert after a full night of sleep.
You should also do something during your breaks and time off that helps you relax. Write in your journal, send a letter to your family back home or just enjoy catching up with some of your peers.
#4 Lean On the Team
We’ve got a wonderful team of both experienced staff members and new counselors that are always willing to help. Let someone know if you come across an issue that you are not sure of how to handle. We can guarantee that someone nearby is ready to help you handle anything that arises such as a conflict between campers.
With so many combined years of experience under our belt, we’ve got tons of ideas to make sure that every camper and staff member has an awesome summer.
#5 Embrace Your Inner Child
It’s a serious job, but you should still have fun! Our campers love to see their counselors get silly. Feel free to let your inner child shine during skits, competitions and pretty much any moment of the day.
Many of our counselors come back year after year to continue making amazing memories for our campers. We look forward to having you on our team, and we can’t wait to make this summer season the best one ever!
Your summer spent as a summer camp counselor is one that you will never forget. Many of our counselors come back year after year to continue making amazing memories for our campers. We look forward to having you on our team, and we can’t wait to make this summer season the best one ever!
