Camp Academy

 This week our theme was Camp Academy here @ AOHV. We enjoyed tents in the classrooms, doing special snack projects, art projects and so much more. Camping can help children learn and develop many life skills. 

Confidence: Allow the  children to learn how to take care of themselves and contribute to the group and the well being of everyone else in a safe environment.

Confidence

As children learn new things and have new experiences they grow more confident.  Confidence helps children explore new opportunities.

Social Skills

Children develop social skills that are important for social/emotional and mental stability.  

Communication Skills

Understanding when and where activities are taking place, and what they are expected to do.

Creativity

Camping can encourage children to use their imaginations.

Appreciation of Nature

Camping can help children explore their senses and learn about nature
