Summer camp isn't like school in several important ways. Although both places offer activities and are organized to care for and educate children, the approach and objectives are quite different.
• School: Its mission is to provide formal academic learning. The school follows a curriculum and teaches specific skills in areas such as mathematics, science, languages, and social studies.
• Summer camp: Its focus is on personal and social development. The activities are aimed at fostering trust, independence, teamwork and creativity, rather than at transmitting academic knowledge.
• School: The routine is very structured, with specific schedules and subjects, exams and evaluations. There is a clear focus on discipline and task fulfillment.
• Summer camp: It is much more flexible and has a freer environment. Activities can vary daily and there is less pressure on performance. Instead of homework, children participate in recreational activities, such as sports, crafts, and outdoor exploration.
• School: Focuses on intellectual development, teaching academic concepts and cognitive skills.
• Summer camp: Learning is experiential, through practical activities. Life skills are developed here, such as empathy, conflict resolution, self-confidence and decision-making.
• School: Children primarily interact with their classmates in a structured and supervised environment.
• Summer camp: Children meet people of different ages creating a more diverse social environment. In addition, the activities are designed to build relationships in a relaxed context and without the pressures of school.
• School: Students are constantly evaluated on their academic performance, which can create pressure.
• Summer camp: There are no formal evaluations or academic pressures. Children are free to enjoy, explore and learn at their own pace, without worrying about grades or grades.
• School: Usually in classrooms, with a more closed and formal approach.
• Summer camp: It usually takes place outdoors, in open or natural spaces, which allows a connection with the natural environment and provides different experiences.
“While the school seeks to prepare children for academic learning and intellectual challenges, summer camp seeks to provide a space for rest, enjoyment and personal development. Both are important, but they complement each other rather than replace each other”
