For years, children have ventured into the outdoors to learn survival, health and social skills at camp.

These camps emphasize togetherness and provide fun activities to do while simultaneously teaching kids important life lessons and skills they’ll need while growing up.

The many benefits of getting kids into the summer camp spirit have made these camps a wildly popular summer activity for decades!

Sometimes, however, summer camp isn’t a feasible option.

This year, many camps are shut down amid COVID-19 social distancing guidelines. But other times, summer camps are simply too expensive or time consuming for families to partake in.

But the good news is: you can recreate the summer camp spirit in your own backyard!
