Question

What makes a camp great?

Did you take part in a camp this summer? There are so many summer camps and not all of them are the same. To choose which camp is best for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you’ve never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same main goals-opportunity, challenge and growth.

Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special. It also makes you special because other kids don’t have the same opportunity. For example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may have the opportunity of meeting famous news reporters there.

Challenge means you are given a task. You must finish the task and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书) to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know or believe you could do before. It also means becoming more confident in yourself.

So in the future when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?

But what about friendship,fun and joy? These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer camps! Have fun, make friends and learn cool new skills at a summer camp.

There are many different types of summer camps in the US. Some camps focus on (注重) playing games and having fun. Other camps focus on developing a certain skill or ability. In general, if you can think of a camp, then it probably exists. You just have to find it.
