Having worked at Camp Stanislaus for nearly nine years, I have been approached several times with the question: \u201cWhy should we send our children to summer camp?\u201d To me, camp is a special place where kids\u00a0are allowed to be themselves, make friends, and have fun, free from some of the distractions and pressures of their normal routines.<\/p>\n

Nestled in all that merriment are some valuable life lessons that help students prepare for life when they leave home\u2014for college and beyond. I think this\u00a0Huffington Post<\/a>\u00a0article does a great job explaining how important summer camps can be in a child\u2019s life and how they offer more than just a place to send your child on summer break.<\/p>\n
