Now more than ever, kids need camp. Mill Basin Day Camp is here for you. We have grown to become the largest and most popular summer day camp program in all of NY.
Change is a part of life. It is often directly related to survival and can enrich one’s life in ways unexpected. Childhood is a time of profound change and development. It is exciting and disquieting at the same time. When it comes to our children, we need to be sure that change is made for the better. We’ve been so concentrated on the brain, we forget about the rest of our bodies. This change in focus has lead to an obesity rate that is unacceptable. Our kids are not as healthy as the generation before.
Families used to live in a community. We’ve lost that, keeping kids inside and losing a sense of community. Add to that the fact that our kids stand to inherit all the economic, social, and environmental challenges we’ve created, and the legacy we have left our children and youth begins to look bleak.
So, how do we prepare our children with the skills and more importantly, the competencies they will need to tackle changes in our world? We could start with a positive camp experience. A quality camp experience provides our children with the opportunity to learn powerful lessons in community, character-building, skill development, and healthy living — a meaningful, engaged, and participatory environment.
