Why Sleepaway Camp is such a Valuable Investment in Your Child’s Future!
For those who grew up going to sleepaway camp, many will say it was one of their most formative life experiences! For those who didn’t grow up going to sleepaway camp, many wonder why it’s such a compelling summer choice, and often question parents sending their children away, when summer can be such a special time for families to be together. As kids become increasingly reliant on technology – and parents become increasingly focused on giving their children the chance to unplug, the desire to better understand all that sleepaway camp has to offer has risen. The Pierce Family runs Camp Birchmont in New Hampshire, a premier, coed sleepaway camp with 3, 4 and 7 week options, and we are so grateful for their perspective on why sleep away camp is one of the best decisions you can make for your child today!
