M.D. Overnight camps are a great way of helping children learn to separate and become independent. When a child comes home from overnight camp, he usually is bursting with self-confidence.
Camps are good for other reasons, too, of course.
They help develop new skills. They teach children to work with other adults and children. They provide rest and relaxation for parents as well as children. They give other siblings an opportunity to have some individual time with parents. Camps come in all forms and sizes.
