Just three short months and summer will be here.  It's not too soon to start planning your kid's reservations for summer camp.

Attending summer camp in The Texas Hill Country is a wonderful summertime memory for many Texans.  Going away to summer camp for the first time can be a daunting experience for many children but after the first time, it is an experience to look forward to each year.  By going to camp, your kids will

Meet New People
Camp might give children a chance to be with people from different states, or even different countries.

Appreciate Nature
Children will learn to appreciate the wonderful natural world... trees, water, wildlife.... and achieve a better understanding about how every living thing is connected.

Challenge Themselves
Not all the things that kids do at camp are easy.  New challenges -- trying new sports, learning new crafts and games, or pushing themselves to achieve something - is a very rewarding experience.

Try New Things
Camps offer games and activities that they probably can't do at home, such as archery, sailing, pottery, dance, obstacle courses, and lots of other fun things.

Learn New Skills
All the activities and instruction at camp are great opportunities to learn something new -- pottery, sailing, tap dancing, etc. Camp can help kids develop life skills like independence, self-reliance, and confidence. They will be living in a group of people and learning about cooperation, compromise, and getting along with others.

Have FUN!
Going to camp is all about having a good time. Camps across the U.S. offer some awesome programs including *Physical challenge courses *Performing arts *Inline skating and skateboarding *Wilderness trips *Circus camp *Ranch camp *Math camp *Science camp *Weight loss *Sports camps *and many more

Hi Shirley, when my daughter was a little girl scout, everyone in my family helped her sell cookies, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, we took order sheets to work... so that she could go to camp! I think we sold 240 boxes... well, it was her first year, and she was afraid, so afraid that she didn't go!!  The next year she went and she loved it! It's such a great experience!  Thanks for the memory.

Hi Mary, I think most children have a good experience with going to summer camp.  It's good that you didn't "force" the issue of her going that first year.  It gave her time to think about it.
