As spring break approaches, parents often find themselves searching for engaging and enriching activities to keep their children active and stimulated during their time away from school. A great option that ensures your child has fun while giving you the peace of mind that they’re in a safe environment is a spring break day camp! This blog will go over some of the main reasons why you should choose to register your child for a spring break camp this year!
Less Stress and Planning For You
One of the most important benefits of sending your child to a day camp is the peace of mind it provides you! Do you have to work while your child is off from school? Are you worried about leaving them at home alone or with an older sibling? Spring break camp takes the worry off your shoulders! Sending your child to a day camp during spring breaks gives you the peace of mind that your child is being watched in a safe environment. Unlike spring break where it’s more likely that loved ones will be spending time together and family will have time off of work to spend with your children, fewer parents have time off during their child’s spring break. Spring break camp means you don’t have to worry about finding different childcare options to fill up the week.
Social and Emotional Development
Any activity that is not held by your child’s school provides them an opportunity to develop their social skills with a new group of peers! Spring break camp is a great way for your child to meet new people and work on the associated skills that come with interacting with strangers and making new friends. The activities at camp often require kids to learn teamwork, develop better communication skills, and build new friendships! At the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County, one of the highlights of our camps is the incorporation of social-emotional learning. Social-emotional learning is important for learning how to manage emotions, feel empathy for others, and establish relationships.
Keeping Your Child Active
While the weather is starting to warm during spring break, the weather can still be unpredictable and often rainy. Sending your child to a day camp ensures that they get moving and have the opportunity to be active during the day! One of the benefits of our Spring Break Camp is our indoor Crossplex facility! Your child will have the space to move and be active even if it’s raining or unseasonably cold! They’ll be able to burn off their energy during the day so you can enjoy your evenings as a family!
Keep A Structured Routine
Although spring break is much shorter than summer break, the time away from school can sometimes lead your child to slip out of their routine of getting up every morning for school. This can make going back to school overwhelming and stressful. Additionally, too many days without a structured routine to follow can lead to behavior problems. Registering your child for a spring break camp still gives them a break from schoolwork and the opportunity for fun socializing while still keeping them in their routine.
