It has been awhile since I had the opportunity to add to the Happy Camper blog. For that I apologize. However, I must say that what has kept me from blogging has been my two wonderful kids. Since becoming a parent, I have come to realize even more so that camp is a very important part of a child's life.
Camp Diamond strives to provide girls with the opportunity to become strong and confident young women who are self-aware and who know their place in the world. Our kids come from a wide variety of backgrounds from major cities to rural neighbourhoods. Each one bringing different experiences to share. Camp for my kids has been a life altering experience especially since they are so young. I have noticed that they adapt better to new situations, are able to converse with different age groups, including adults, and become curious about learning new things.
Parents often write to me during the year and tell me that their daughters changed over the course of the summer. Some have even told me that they have worked hard on a lemonade stand, or are babysitting more in order to raise enough funds to attend camp the following summer. These are lessons that are beneficial not only to the girl herself but for society as well. Not only do the lessons learned aid the individual directly, but enables them to pass on the lessons to others.
Give your girl the opportunity of a lifetime. Send them to Camp Diamond for a week and see what changes are ahead!
