Summer Camp

Did you go to a summer day camp?  What do you remember?  

Did you have fun activities?  Was there a pool where you could swim?  What was your favorite part and what about your least favorite part?

Summer camp can bring back many feelings.  It can be a wonderful experience with some challenges but hopefully it’s a happy and fun time.

First, you get to know fellow campers from different backgrounds, some might turn out to be friends for a while and others acquaintances for the week or so while you are at camp.

There are counselors you’ll meet, many counselors.  Your group counselors for one.  They keep you together and lead you to various camp activities.  They are there to listen and help.

Specialists are counselors who run activities.  You work on fun projects at arts and crafts.  Put on your thinking cap for Science and Nature.  Think of a skit to perform at Theater.

You learn how to play different games at Sports and get a racket and learn some tennis.

Get musical at Music and look for fun games to play. Music is universal.  

Sometimes there are moments that are not as easy or fun as others.  You probably carried a backpack around with you, usually on the heavier side.  You need swimsuits, a towel, snack and lunch.  Let’s not forget water!

Additionally, you may remember waiting.  Waiting for everyone to change.  Waiting to line up and waiting for activities to begin.  Not always easy to do for campers.

Overall, a day camp can be a wonderful experience and create memories and friendships for a lifetime.  Some camps also include children with special needs.  These campers get the same experience as everyone else.

Private Home Health Care hopes that you have had a chance to experience a summer day camp. It can be such a fun time in your life and is sure to leave you with memories.
