A Visit To Medford Summer Camps

By Sally Delacruz


During holidays people like to take a vacation to relax themselves after working hard in school or at their workplace. It is during holidays that children look forward for summer camps to relax and have a good time doing recreational activities. Medford summer camps offers a variety of selection for kids and teenagers such as day and overnight music, sports, dance and many more activities. The camp lasts for four weeks and is quite affordable to most parents.

A summer camp is a program for children, teenagers or youths conducted during the summer seasons where they get to interact, exchange ideas, educate each other and enjoy themselves. These camps usually have to be supervised by older people to make sure that the children/teenagers are safe; they eat and meet their purpose for going to the camps.

There are many advantages of taking children to these camps. Some of the advantages are: they learn many different cultures from the others who come from different states or continents, they learn different languages and also learn different things like how to take care of each other and themselves and they also get to know how to be responsible in life and to accommodate each other.

They also get to discover their talents since they are taught things like cooking, music, baking, acting and different arts and design. They also get to make new friends and keep themselves busy with many educative things rather that just staying at home and being naughty, or just watching movies and just lazing around.

The other benefit is that they become more confident and social, that is they encourage each other on how to deal with setbacks or how to overcome some problems affecting them. Team building and exercise is another advantage. And lastly the children get a chance to reconnect and appreciate nature since they take a break from technology and get to experience outdoor activities. It is because of these advantages that many kids and teenagers look forward for the long summer camp holidays.

Although there are many advantages of kids attending the summer camps, they are not without any disadvantages. These are; allergies that occur because of the new foods that they are not used to, effect of the different weather conditions, homesick during the first days. Kids who are not used to sharing things find it hard doing so before they get used to it.

Some parents find it hard to stay away from their kids for the long holidays. They do not get to spend quality time with their children during the long summer holidays because by the time they get back home it is already time to go back to school.

It is seen that the advantages overweight the disadvantages and parents are being urged to take their children to camps. It is important for every kid to get to experience camping, for first time campers it is important for the parents and camp directors to guide them and let them know what to expect.
