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.

Are you wondering why you should send your child to a overnight summer camp in the northwoods of Minnesota? The answer is so simple…its all around you…it’s called NATURE. Over 100 studies of outdoor experiences in wilderness and natural areas show that natural outdoor environments produce positive physiological and psychological responses in humans, including reduced stress and a general feeling of well-being. Our children are still forming themselves from everything around them. Children have not yet fully adapted to the man-made world. Children instinctively feel a sense of continuity with nature when they spend time outdoors, at a Children’s Summer Camp in Minnesota provides an excellent way to get kids back to the natural landscape. Exposure to this variation in environment brings a welcome balance to your child’s development.
