I was at the YMCA this morning working out and I ran into a mother of two campers that attended this past weekends Mini-Camp. Her children had been to our day camp, but this was the first Kanata overnighter they had attended. She was so excited to tell me that her boys had an incredible time and didn't want to leave when she came to pick them up on Sunday afternoon.
Kanata is an incredible place where kids get to experience things they wouldn't normally do, where they get to live in a cabin with children they don't usually spend time with and they get to spend time with our counselors who are great role models for them. I think every child should have the experience of being away from their parents for an overnight experience at camp. It is amazing to watch as the children interact with each other, explore, try new things and learn valuable character traits like honesty, respect, responsibility and a caring attitude.
As I finished my conversation with the mother this morning she also mentioned how great it was to have "kid free weekend" with her husband. So not only will your children have fun at camp, but the parents get to have fun while the children are there also. Look forward to seeing you at an upcoming Mini-Camp or Summer session.
Your Camp Director,
Dave
