For many children, and parents, the Summer holidays can feel like an awfully long time, and for that reason the UK is fast following in the footsteps of America with the introduction of children’s summer camps, something which I think is a huge positive for our children.
When it comes to children, there is no better start than a summer camp – teaching our children to appreciate the outdoors, gain independence, learn new skills, and forge friendships. For working parents, it’s a great way of allowing our children the freedom to explore, and enjoy new challenges, sports and crafts, during the weeks we are unable to get outdoors alongside them. I personally think it’s a great idea!
Listed amongst the top three British children’s summer camps in last weeks Sunday Telegraph, is Camp Kernow, set in the heart of the Cornish countryside. Camp Kernow is an environmentally conscious camp, teaching fun, and important skills, and offering pioneering off-grid environmental adventures. Camp Kernow’s aims to reconnect children with nature and inspire them about sustainability, something which, as parents, I’m sure we will all agree is so important in life.
