The Value of Camp!

Camp directors and camp staff know intuitively what camp provides for youth. We have sought for words and the solid research to back up what we know in our hearts happens in the magic of the experience. Now we have that research!! It is important that parents, legislators, and the media hear the same message about the value of the camp experience.

We encourage you to copy the paragraphs below and include them in your camp brochure, on your web site, in your letters to parents, in your news releases, or anywhere you have the opportunity to help build the knowledge of the value of camp. Thanks for your efforts!
