Planned Activities Summer camp offers an opportunity for children to discover new and amazing things. It allows chil- dren to become independent and self-confident, while socializing, making new friends, and even learning new skills. The children have a great time with their summer experiences. It cuts down on screen time by getting them outdoors and encour- aging active play. So much fun to keep your children active and engaged throughout the summer.
