It’s time to begin those summer plans once more.

It turns out that there are some well established benefits of camps for kids. Camps have the unique ability to provide an immersive experience for children.

Some of these relationships may even last a lifetime. The memories certainly will.

Summer Camp Benefits

Some of the known benefits of camp include the following:
Self-Esteem and Confidence Building
Exposure to new experiences and challenges can develop a child’s self-esteem and confidence by giving them the opportunity to see themselves as they excel at new activities, overcome fears and succeed in new roles.
Socialization. Teamwork. Friendship.
As kids navigate their way through the activities at camp they will naturally find themselves building bonds with their peers. Many camp activities focus on teamwork. In this safe environment kids are able to build their social skills while interacting with peers from varying backgrounds.
Independence and Resilience
The time at camp away from mom and dad - even if just for a few hours - allows a child to depend on their inner voice and to begin to build a sense of identity. Exposure to the many new activities and people at camp will naturally foster growth. This growth will include an awareness of one’s strengths and weaknesses. This greater understanding of self will contribute to more self-reliance for the child. As the child becomes more practiced in trusting his or her self, and as the child faces challenges, their resilience in difficult situations will be enhanced.
Screen-Free Play
An important aspect to a healthy life in our modern world is moderated screen time. While at camp, the screen-free play will not only be filled with fun moments that allow a child to live and learn in the present, but also promote healthy living habits. Being active, being in the moment, and positive social interactions are all crucial aspects of a healthy life and they are all present at camp during each screen-free activity.

In addition to these valuable benefits, summer camps near you like those offered at Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda have some additional advantages.

Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda offers summer camps for kids in Bethesda, MD.

Benefits Of Art Summer Camp

Our camp activities are specifically designed to engage each child’s imagination and creativity. The crafts at our camps will present children with the opportunity to develop their fine motor skills, express themselves through art, and the chance to create something entirely unique. In fact, arts and crafts have the ability to benefit children in many ways. Some of these benefits include quantifiable knowledge like pattern and shape recognition. Other benefits are more difficult to measure but are also invaluable.

Art is self-expression. This is why art can be such a useful tool for childhood. Children are developing the necessary skills to communicate with others. Any activity that can expand their ability and understanding of self-expression, and that gives them more tools for expression will be invaluable.

When children are given the opportunity to use art in their play they learn and develop multiple motor skills at once. For example, drawing is uniquely useful in the improvement of fine motor skills. The specialized movements of the hand, wrist and fingers are put to the test every time your child picks up a crayon or pencil. The same muscles developed in these movements will later help a child learning to dress themselves, tie their shoes or write their name.

In our art camps children are both given the freedom to create artwork their own way as well as see the artwork created by others. This exposure to seeing something done in a multitude of ways can build a child’s awareness that there is not one correct way to do everything. And thinking creatively can solve problems or lead to the creation of something beautiful.

Each of these benefits are always a part of Kidcreate Studio - Bethesda camps and classes, and your child will profit from attending our events throughout the year. Our award-winning curriculum is tailored to the needs of each age group. This means your child will learn at an appropriate pace while interacting with children of similar ages.

I’ve taken my 2 year old here twice, she loved it both times. Our instructor Jodie was so kind and accommodating. Both times we were there Jodie got extra supplies beyond the planned activities for the kids to play with, she’s so good at making sure the kids have everything they need to have a great experience. Las...

We did two drop-in classes with our 2.5 year old, and they were amazing! It was such a fun way to introduce my kiddo to some of the great artists of history, but in a way that she could enjoy. The teachers were great, and I can't wait for her to take more classes!

We held my daughter’s 4th birthday party at KidCreate and can not say enough positive things. Both teachers in attendance were excellent with the kids and helping them do their art project and move through the different phases of the party. I highly recommend considering KidCreate for your child’s birthday party.

My kid’s birthday party was pleasant. They enjoyed working with clay and doing independent work. It was so fun for them. The owner and staff are wonderful. We will be back for classes. Here is a picture of a blue unicorn, one of the four year olds made independently of help from adults.
