Send my child to a Summer Camp in Minnesota? I love my kid! Why would I ever do that? Because kids all over this country are deprived of simple pleasures, unstructured time and the self affirmation of being in Nature. Recent studies show that experiences in the wilderness and time spent in natural outdoor areas produce positive psychological and physiological responses in children. These include but are not limited to reduced stress and a general feeling of well-being. Our modern, increasingly artificial man-made world is not a kind environment for children. Historically, children have naturally felt comfortable being outdoors. Minnesota summer camps are among the best suited anywhere for getting kids safely back to the country and into direct contact with nature.
