"But They Don't Want To Go"

Possibly the most common retort we hear from parents who want to send their kids to camp.

We get it, but camp is about 1000% different than most of the preconceived notions that campers have about it prior to arrival. No starvation, no endless workouts, etc... Camp is literally designed to be FUN.

So why is it important to push kids into areas they may be hesitant about?

It builds resiliency

When kids learn they can handle discomfort, frustration, or boredom, they develop confidence in their ability to cope. Life will regularly ask them to do things they do not feel like doing. Practicing that skill early makes it less overwhelming later.

It teaches the difference between can’t and don’t want to

Many kids say “I can’t” when they really mean “this is hard” or “this is unfamiliar.” Encouraging them to try helps them discover their real capabilities and expands their sense of what’s possible. As we say all the time at camp, "it's okay to do things that are difficult." We even look to shift the mindset from, "I can't do that" to "I can't do that, yet."

It creates discipline, not punishment

Doing something despite resistance is how discipline is formed. Discipline is not about control. It is about learning to follow through on commitments, responsibilities, and goals even when motivation is low. This is also where the breakthrough occurs at camp. We're trying to change habits, this will inherently come with a point of resistance. That point of resistance is where growth occurs. Learning to navigate difficult and challenging situations builds that growth and resilience in a way that prepares campers for the rest of their life.

It helps them discover new interests

Kids often resist what is new. Some of their greatest passions are found after initial reluctance, not before it. Without gentle pressure, many opportunities would be missed. We see this all the time at camp, an activity that was resisted day 1 becomes a favorite by week 2.

It prepares them for real-world expectations
