My daughter is pretty nervous in general. I didn’t know that going to summer camp could help with that! I’ll ask her if she would be willing to go. She could really benefit from doing activities with other girls!

My daughter has been asking about going to camp with some friends this summer, so thanks for sharing this. I like your point about how camp can keep your mind active and engaged outside of school. This sounds like a good way to ensure she is still learning even during the summer, so we’ll have to look into this more.

Thanks for explaining some benefits to summer camp. It’s good to know that this is a great chance for kids to take healthy risks. It could be a good way for them to also learn about things or activities that they really enjoy doing in a safe environment.
