2. Across the country, thousands of happy kids flock
to summer day camp to spend sunny hours
swimming, boating, playing games and concocting
colorful arts and crafts.

3. By creating a carefree, light-hearted atmosphere
where everybody is included in the fun,
day camps benefit kids in so many ways.

4. Day Camp Encourages
Kids to Try New Things

5. Maybe your child always thought he was bad
at sports or was afraid of the water or felt too shy
to speak up in class.

6. After a while, kids get stuck
on a particular image
of themselves and become
afraid to try anything new.

7. At camp, counselors are trained
to encourage youngsters to take
that courageous first step
and try something new without
fear of being ridiculed.

8. Maybe that shy little girl
will turn out to be a big hit
in a hilarious skit, or the kid
who never got past wading
in the water will have a blast
diving into the deep end
of the pool.

9. In a safe, encouraging
environment, kids can learn
new sports, develop
new talents
and at the same time,
gain a lot of self-knowledge.

10. Making New Friends
is Easier at Camp

11. Away from the cliques and preconceived expectations
of school and neighborhood social systems, kids
at day camp can feel free to strike up a conversation
with someone new, whether it’s to compliment them
on a great hit in softball or ask them to be a buddy
on the climbing wall.

12. Reaching out to others can be intimating, and counselors
are experts at helping kids treat each other nicely
and generally just have fun as a group.

13. A popular child just may find that the geeky kid
sitting behind him at school is actually wickedly funny
and awesome to hang around with …

14. … while a more reticent child may discover
that if she just puts herself out there a bit,
there are plenty of friends to be found.

15. Campers Learn
to Work as a Team

16. Being able to work well as a team
is an important life-long skill.

17. Summer camp activities from high ropes courses
to relay races and theatrical skits teach youngsters
how to play, create and problem-solve as a group.

18. While having loads of active outdoor fun,
kids will also be learning valuable lessons
about their worth as an individual and as part of a group.

19. Summer-long color war competitions
with all their rousing songs and cheers keep kids excited
and involved and encourage bonding with teammates.

20. Kids Learn to Persevere

21. It’s sure not always easy to step out on the high ropes,
go out in the deep water or mount a horse for the first time,
and a lot of first efforts are not met with success.

22. However, with the right encouragement
and a bit of cheering on, kids can achieve things
they’d never dreamed of.

23. Overcoming a fear of heights to achieve a high ropes challenge …

24. … working hard to make it to the next level of swimming expertise
or finally making a decent foul shot are all efforts
that don’t come easily, making the achievement so much sweeter.

25. Campers Have
a Lot of Fun

26. Really, when you get
right down to it, fun
is what summer day camp
is all about.

27. Kids these days work hard
at school, organized sports
and extracurricular activities.

28. At camp, games, sports, arts
and crafts, goofy songs
and silly skits create
a light-hearted alternate universe …

29. … where everyone
can be appreciated
for their own special selves, laugh
‘til they have the hiccups
and create memories that will make
them smile for years.

30. Summer camp not only make kids’ summer fun
but it also help develop camaraderie and teamwork
in them.

31. Let your kids enjoy the experience of summer
day camp at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

32. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe
