The importance of friendship in childhood: benefits of a Summer Camp

Friendship during childhood is a fundamental aspect in the emotional and social development of boys and girls. From the moment the little ones look for their first friend to play with, an invaluable learning process begins.

At a summer camp, this experience is further enhanced, as boys and girls have the opportunity to meet new people and create lasting bonds of friendship.

Why are these bonds of friendship so important? Here we tell you:

Development of social skills

Summer camps offer a unique environment where boys and girls can relate to others in a natural and spontaneous way. By interacting with their camp mates, they develop social and communication skills critical to their personal growth.

Encourages sharing and empathy

Living with friends in a camp environment teaches boys and girls to share, to control their temperaments and to be more understanding with others. Through group activities and games, they learn to work as a team and to value the needs of other boys and girls.

Conflict resolution

Within a group of friends, it's common for disagreements and conflicts to arise. In a camp, boys and girls have the opportunity to face these problems and learn to solve them constructively. This teaches them to negotiate, to seek solutions and to understand the importance of mutual respect.

Empowerment and leadership

Being part of a group of friends gives boys and girls an opportunity to influence the group's decisions and norms. This helps them feel valued and empowered, and teaches them to take responsibility and lead when necessary.

Trust and Extroversion

Friendship at the camp provides boys and girls with a safe and supportive environment where they can freely express themselves and be themselves. This helps them gain self-confidence and develop a more outgoing and confident personality.

Learning values

The bonds of friendship at the camp allow boys and girls to experience and understand complex values such as justice and equity. As they interact with their friends, they learn to be fair, to respect differences and to make ethical decisions.

Development of autonomy

Making decisions and standing up to others are important skills that boys and girls develop through friendship in the camp. This helps them to become more aware of themselves and their ability to influence their environment.

The bonds of friendship at summer camp not only provide fun and companionship, but they also provide an invaluable opportunity for children's personal and social growth. By participating in group activities, resolving conflicts and sharing experiences, they learn life lessons that will accompany them well beyond camp.

Is summer camp like school?
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.
