Top 10 Reasons to Go to Summer Camp
If you’ve been to camp, you’re not surprised to hear about the benefits of summer camp. Experiencing life at camp yourself as a child, you know the profound positive effects that still matter to you as an adult, and you also know that you want something just as important for your own kids. If you haven’t been a camper before, here are 10 reasons to send your child to Phantom Ranch! They will…
1. Make new, lifelong friends
2. Notice and play in the beauty of Creation
3. Learn how to interact with peers respectfully
4. Enjoy free time for unstructured play
5. Increase in healthy independence
6. Develop usable life skills
7. Unplug from technology and screens
8. Gain resiliency through communal living and time away from parents
9. Experience success and become more confident
10. Have opportunities to memorize and discuss God’s Word
After just a few days at Phantom Ranch, campers tell us they don’t want to go home. They tell us this place is their second home. Years later as adults, they wish they could be a kid again so they could be a camper. What could be better than your child wanting their home away from home to be one where they experience the love of God through caring Staff and where they encounter God through His Word and prayer!
