The Importance of Choosing the Right Summer Camp for your Child
–Coach Clarenza-
As the days get warmer, many children are becoming more and more excited for
summer break; however, children often become bored during summer break due to the lack of routines or activities that were present during the school year. Enrolling your child in a physical-activity-based summer camp is an excellent way to keep them active and in a routine, while still giving them a fun summer experience!
As many indoor activities, such as video games, become popular with children, it is
important to introduce them to ways they can move their bodies in a fun, healthy way. Enrolling your child in a physical-activity-based summer camp such as a sports or martial arts summer camp has many benefits, including building confidence for your child. Martial arts, especially, are effective at teaching children how to defend themselves healthily, promoting a
child’s sense of strength and confidence. Other physical activities can help to build children’s
self-esteem which can especially help children who struggle with insecurities or bullying.
Overall, providing activities that help your child stay active over the summer can help your child feel more confident and strong.
Along with an increase in confidence, your child will also experience many other positive
benefits from staying active such as bettering their mental health. Staying active and
participating in physical activities is a fun way for children to relieve stress; it is proven
that staying active can lower anxiety and depression in children. Physical-activity-based
summer camps can also allow children to work as a team, promoting cooperation and
communication-based skills. Many sports and physical activities also involve setting and
achieving goals, an important skill that will help children in the following school year. Signing your child up for a physical activity-based summer camp can help them relieve stress and develop helpful skills for the following school year! Of course, when your child participates in physical activities, they will experience many health benefits. Participating in sports, martial arts, and other physical activities will help to develop your child’s muscles and bones while establishing healthy habits that can continue into
adulthood. Enrolling your child in a physical-activity summer camp is a great way to help them be active in a fun and engaging way.
When looking for a summer camp program, it is best to choose an option that will be
educational, physically engaging, and fun for your child. Grant’s Taekwondo is a highly-
reviewed summer camp that offers all the wonderful benefits of a fitness-based summer camp
with many educational and fun activities. Taekwondo also involves learning different positions
which can help your child develop memorization skills as well as general body coordination.
