The excitement before attending a summer camp for the first time is indescribable for children and teenagers. One of the reasons summer camps are so special is because our children will have new experiences that they will remember for a lifetime.
These new experiences do not have to be surprising, they are very ordinary and simple things for us as adults. However, for children attending summer camp for the first time, even the simplest things are a new and very rewarding experience.
New experiences enrich our children’s knowledge and allow them to develop their abilities while learning how to adapt to an environment that is completely different for them.
9 unforgettable experiences and moments before attending a summer camp.
As we mentioned before, children really enjoy new experiences at camp. If we have had the opportunity to attend a summer camp, we certainly have unforgettable memories not only of the camp, but even of the hours before the camp. Let’s take a look at some of these pre-camp experiences that our children can enjoy if we enroll them the upcoming school vacation season.
1. One of the first experiences is opening a water bottle for the first time, and being desperate to use it.
2. Going to different pharmacies looking for mosquito spray.
3. We even enjoy marking our personal belongings, such as shoes, towels, clothes and so on.
4. Packing your backpack, and checking that you have forgotten some important personal item or object and have to do it all over again. That is so typical.
Funny anecdotes and incredible experiences
5. Filling the bag to the point of almost exceeding the limits of the zippers, and then the problem of not being able to put it all back in again.
6. Calling all your friends to check what clothes they are going to wear, and your parents are also calling your friends’ parents about the same thing.
7. Playing with the flashlight the night before camp and leaving it almost out of batteries.
8. On the way to summer camp, listening to the chatter about caution and good behavior.
9. Saying goodbye to our parents without realizing that they were even happier than we were.
Experiences that they will remember for a lifetime.
All of these moments are typical when attending summer camp for the first time. Some of these pre-camp experiences are marked by the excitement and the expectation of the new experience.
