"Given the heavy toll the pandemic has taken on kids…There has never been a more crucial time to give kids an overnight summer camp experience.  Camp can provide kids with a sense of calm, stability, and normalcy during these uncertain times. It engages kids and gives them a sense of belonging. From early morning line-up, all the way to evening activities, campers are interacting with their camp family in a structured and supportive environment.  Camp provides opportunities like working in groups, taking on leadership roles, and developing problem-solving skills.

Most importantly, camp allows kids to unplug from screen time and social media and replaces online communication with authentic face-to-face interactions. Camp days are filled with exciting activities, special events, and camp traditions, allowing kids to develop the confidence, resilience, empathy, and life skills that will help them successfully navigate through the summer and all year long." -Camp Iroquois Springs
