The ideal age to attend a Summer Camp: When is the right time for your son or daughter?

A summer camp is an invaluable opportunity for your sons and daughters to grow, learn and strengthen their values while enjoying new experiences and making friends. However, it's natural for parents to have doubts about when is the right time for your little ones to attend one.

‍

What is the ideal age to attend a Summer Camp?

‍

The truth is that there is no single answer, since each child is different and their level of maturity may vary. However, experts usually recommend some general ranges:

‍

• From 6 to 7 years old: this age is suitable for summer camps where boys and girls sleep away from home, such as a week or even two. However, it is important that the child has some autonomy and is prepared to be separated from their parents for this period of time.

‍

• Ages 8 and up: From this age onward, boys and girls are usually ready for longer camps, of up to 14 days, which are the most common. They are mature enough to enjoy the experience and participate in all scheduled activities.

‍

• From 12 to 13 years old: for longer stays or abroad, it is recommended to wait until boys and girls are between 12 and 13 years old. At this age, their level of maturity allows them to better adapt to new and unknown situations.

Preparing your little ones

It's important to encourage your sons and daughters to participate in a camp, highlighting the exciting adventures that await them. You should avoid transmitting your own insecurities to them, as this could affect their enthusiasm for the experience.

The Importance of a Quality Camp

At a quality Summer Camp, boys and girls will be in good hands. Instructors and coordinators are trained to handle any situation and ensure the well-being of participants. In addition, fun and educational activities are organized so that children can easily integrate and enjoy the experience to the fullest.
