Read about how school camps encourage learning below:

Real-life experiences

You may often find your child asking questions like, “Why do I need to know this?”.  School camps regularly help children understand the importance of what they have learned in school by turning their theoretical work into practical challenges and activities – all the while improving various other skills. Showing them the importance of what they’re learning will encourage them to be more involved in their learning while at school.

Increased motivation

School camp encourages learning by motivating students. Through every challenge and activity, students are motivated. They are helped by other students, teachers and camp staff through each struggle and are praised for every achievement. All this support improves their motivation to progress through every challenge and achieve their goals. Their motivation to work and achieve goals will continue after the camp and shine through in every class.

Confidence in the classroom

School camps provide a platform for students to interact with each other, face their fears and become independent, decision-making and problem-solving individuals. These new skills that they learn will improve their confidence. Their newfound confidence will give them the courage they need to get involved in their classes, raising their hand to ask and answer questions and more.
