Why send your child to Sleepover Camp?
Being
a parent is a wonderful gift, experiencing all the milestones with
your child is, of course, one of the greatest highlights. Their first
word, their first step, their first sleepover… Their first
sleepover? That's a good question.
How many parents have actually been keen on sending their kids for a sleepover without the paranoia of their child needing their parent and the parent being absent? What is the correct age to send your kids for a sleepover?
Well, that's where a wonderful camp for children and teens between the ages of 7 and 17 came along! This camp is called Sugar Bay! We at Sugar Bay have loving and caring counsellors to give your child individual undivided attention just as you do, and to show your children that they have someone to trust when mum and dad are not around as well as to support and teach them to build confidence in themselves whilst being independent.
Here are 5 Reasons why you should send your child to a Sleepover Camp:
1. You want your child to get over their fears
Your child probably has nightmares just like any other typical youngster, and here at Sugar Bay we don't just comfort them, but we teach them that nightmares are normal and that it's nothing more than your mind playing tricks on you. That way our kiddies will learn to awaken from a nightmare, brush it off and go back to sleep peacefully without fear or the tears.
2. You want your child to be capable of basic self-care
What a pleasure it is to watch your child dress up by himself in the mornings before school! Especially if he cleans up well! At Sugar Bay, we ensure that our kids are able to equip themselves with these skills from a tender age so that they require almost no adult intervention and walk the footsteps of independence correctly.
3. You want your child to ask questions and make requests confidently
When your child is able to ask for what she needs and will feel comfortable doing so, you automatically feel confident and comfortable as well. We at Sugar Bay ensure that all our kids come out of their shells by firstly engaging them in various outgoing ice-breaker activities on arrival before encouraging them to share their opinions in many other team building activities which results in your kids becoming bold and confident by the end of camp.
4. You want your child to look forward to new experiences
Having an enthusiastic child who is ready to accommodate different situations and face new challenges is very reassuring for any parent. As a parent, it is vital that you always encourage your kids to be open to new adventures and experiences, and at Sugar Bay, adventure and opportunity for new experiences are a speciality!
5. You want your child to realize that separation is a sign of trust
You want your child to learn that them being away from you is a sign that you trust them and you sending them away from home should display that they can trust you. In this exciting milestone, children learn one very valuable lesson in life and that is trust. When a child's trustworthiness is made aware by the parent, the child will live up to the expectations and the lesson of trust will be learned.
Allowing your kids to grow up is allowing them to try new endeavours. By sending your child to a sleepover camp you are not taking any risks, you are simply exercising trust, allowing the experience to be your child's teacher, growing confidence, exploring capabilities and assisting your child in overcoming fear!
We, at Sugar Bay, will ensure that your kids have the necessary tools and support to tackle each new experience as it comes turn homesickness into a thing of the past! Say yes to a Sugar Bay Sleepover Camp!
