#5 Spend the day being physically active - Camp provides a wonderful opportunity for kids to get outside and move: running, swimming, climbing!
#4 Unplug from technology - Without technology, kids rediscover their creative powers and engage the real world-real people, real activities, real emotions.
#3 Learn social skills - Coming to camp means joining a close-knit community where everyone must agree to cooperate and respect each other.
#2 Grow more independent - Camp is the perfect place for kids to practice making decisions for themselves in a safe and caring environment.
#1 Transformed lives - At camp, kids take a break from the craziness of their regular routine allowing them to think about their future, evaluate unhealthy patterns and discover the truth that God loves them and has an amazing plan for their lives.
