Campers

" Camp gives kids the opportunity to take on personal challenges with a greater sense of independence and ownership and accomplish things they never thought possible ... So why is camp such an important environment to build resilience? In addition to providing endless challenging opportunities for campers, camp builds connections! The number one way to build resilience, as identified by the American Psychological Association’s Road to Resilience, is to make connections. Camp helps kids face challenges head-on, because camp builds strong supportive relationships and gives kids a sense of belonging. That sense of belonging provides the needed support, guidance and acceptance that help campers do great things." — Iroquois Springs Camp Blog
