1. Why You Should Send Your
Kindergartner to Summer Camp

2. It’s almost summer and you may be debating
whether or not your kindergartner is ready to head
off to summer day camp with the “big kids”.

3. Though they may seem like babies still,
kindergartners are more than ready to spend
fun-filled days with playing games, making colorful
crafts and meeting lots of new friends.

4. Following are just a few of the reasons you may
want to consider packing your five- or six-year old
off to a local day camp for kids.

5. Cool School Preview

6. If your youngster hasn’t yet headed off to
kindergarten, summer day camp can
provide a preview of the school year
ahead and help him get a head start on
“real school”.

7. Like primary school, summer day camp
has structured days, rules, and lots of
new classmates.

8. Kids learn to organize their
belongings, function as a group and
follow the leadership of adults other
than their parents.

9. Day camp also gets kids ready for being
away from mom and dad for a set period
of time each day, and with a high
student-to-counselor ratio ..

10. ... counselors have more time to entertain
and distract kids suffering from a bit of
separation anxiety than the average
kindergarten teacher.

11. Getting In The Swim

12. Swimming is a lifelong skill
that not only provides
hours of fun but also has a
strong safety component.

13. All kids should know the
basics of the sport, and many
camps offer basic lessons
along with instruction in
water and pool safety.

14. Your little one will learn to be
safer at the beach and pool
while having a splash-tastic
time beating the heat.

15. Break Time

16. Keeping a rambunctious kindergartner entertained all
summer can be pretty exhausting, and camp keeps kids
safely and happily entertained during the day.

17. Parents can tend to work, house projects or even a new sibling,
and then feel relaxed, refreshed and ready to hear about the
day’s adventures when their camper comes home sweaty and
happy at the end of a busy day.

18. Souped-Up Social Skills

19. Packed with new friends and
lots of ways to get to know
them, camp is a great place for
kindergartners to get used to
meeting new kids and getting
along with other youngsters.

20. Counselors are skilled at helping
children share, play fair, take
turns and treat others kindly,
skills that will come in handy as
they enter elementary school –
and all through life.

21. Kids learn to be more empathetic
and helpful, and the non-
competitive activities give a real
boost to self-confidence.

22. Camp Lets Kids Be Kids

23. Traditional day camp gives little ones one of the greatest gifts
of all; it lets them spend the summer just being kids.

24. Camp is all about action and without television, computers and
other techy distractions, your kindergartner can swing, jump,
play, swim and just get outside and run wild before the
structure and expectations of school take over.

25. At The End Of The Day

26. For many kids, one of the best things about
day camp is that they get to return home at
the end of a lively, frolicking day with lots of
stories to tell their family.

27. They’ll delight in describing how their team
finally won at Ga-Ga ball, the thrill of finally
jumping into the deep end of the pool or
the cool new friend they made at lunch.

28. Let your kids enjoy the experience of summer day
camp at Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

29. Experienced staff will keep your child both safe
and busy with arts and crafts, games, water
sports, gymnastics and more.
