5 reasons to go with the child in the family camp

What is a family camp

When you hear this expression brings to mind is likely to come immediately to the summer camp with the troops, rulers, counselors and bonfires. But the family camp - a fundamentally different space. Its main difference from the usual camp is that kids are in it together with their parents, brothers and sisters.

Family Camp - a space where parents jointly and equally with the children involved in the life of the camp, while not interfering with the younger generation to engage in play and the program itself, designed specifically for them.

Family camps are usually dedicated to a single subject and focus on a specific age group, such as preschoolers or younger students. However, if the camp is intended to children 7-10 years old, it does not mean that it is not worth to go there with younger children - separate sessions will also be provided for them, and they do not have to be bored.

Why modern busy parents to go to family camp, in spite of the fact that the limited vacation and really want somehow to break apart in order to be with the kids? Yes, and you can spend a vacation in plain family hotel or excursion trips abroad. Here are five reasons out of my family's experience, why you should try to spend the usual vacation in an unusual format family camp.

Reason 1. To do something really important

In planning the daily tasks parents, especially busy and working, constantly forced to give priorities, dosing time on different areas of life: work, socializing with children, spouse, hobbies, pets case. It often turns out that in dealing with the child remains something on which there was no time, so it seemed important cook dinner, go to the hairdresser or something else that took priority in your system at the time of the first a place. And undone chanterelles origami, plasticine rabbits, masks made of papier-mache and remain promises.

When you are in a family camp, you have, on the one hand, there is a TIME (leave the same). On the other - the atmosphere of co-creation and the camp program, which requires preparation for the event, contributes to the fact that the parent finally begins to do with the child what the time had not enough.

And suddenly you find yourself risuyuschim poster comes up with a story or cut for crown night scenes with seriousness and thoroughness, it is the respective situation of the annual planning budget.

And next to a child with burning eyes, because finally, my mom / dad's had time to something with it is optional to do, and his case has become as important and serious for the parents as for him itself.

Reason 2. Do what you have never done before, and again feel like a child

In the family camp, as in any other, are activities that require training. It may well be that your family will fall to show performance - a puppet show or skit. And here you already find yourself masteryaschim dolls from twigs and shells. Or in the role of an evil old woman jump on stage for children with cubs. And how could it be otherwise, because while discussing your son scenes categorically stated that the role of the old woman will approach you most, and you have no choice.

And the child is happy, because my mother there, involved in his games, fooling around with it, and not in a hurry to work. And sometimes mom is interested in such a way that even forgets that came to the camp for the sake of your child, and feels as if she came to the camp ...

Reason 3. Re-learn their child

When a lot of work, and you can not help but notice that something important is happening with your child. In the family camp, staying side by side with their children and being with them on an equal footing, you begin to understand them better.

Parents often feel that they are well aware of their child: they are also regularly watch blog, communicate with teachers, evening questioned about his activities, carried out with the weekend in general, they also gave birth to him and grown! But in the lives of children are many nuances: features of interaction with their peers, the child's behavior in different situations. In the camp one shift the child lives an entire life: first, the introduction and application of his team, then the joint creativity, adventure, friendship, challenges, joy, and finally parting.

Constantly being with a child in the atmosphere of the camp, you start to better understand how it behaves in different situations. And you realize what it is actually that it's even better, smarter, more independent and more talented than you might think.

Reason 4. Remind your child that your family - the best team

Any family camp is usually subordinate to some topics. For example, Englishland camp project "Together cheerfully," in which we were, was devoted to the study of English. The camp program is constructed so that there were two special sessions separately for children, and there were also joint evening events with their parents to participate in the family that invites teams. Often single family became a full-fledged team and fought with other families.

training moments: join efforts with your child a secret from the other participants in the camp, whispering together, awareness the fact that you are together superplan conceive how all win, unite family and give an understanding of the child, that you are the real team.

Reason 5. Have a good rest in a pleasant location

In addition to all of these reasons, a family camp - a perfect place to relax, enjoy the sun, fed with vitamins and a good mood. The camp program is constructed in such a way that, in addition to the activities, it was time to just relax, nakupatsya, take a walk.

Do not be afraid of what the camp activities will be tedious and intrusive for parents. If you do not want to participate, you can not do this.

But I will say from my own experience: in an atmosphere of the camp, even the most serious parents start to behave like children after your child, drawn into the atmosphere prevailing around the joint creativity, adventure and games.

In addition, for family camps usually choose great places: far from the noise of the tourism industry, beautiful, calm. There are, however, probably will not be a traditional beer all inclusive. But for families with children is a good thing: your kids do not exactly see drunk people, and other similar spectacles you will be insured. As for the parents, clean in all respects holiday only contributes to a better relaxation.

Our camp, for example, took place in Cirali, a wonderful small village in Turkey, surrounded by mountains, which is located in the national reserve. In Cirali no large hotels, as building on the foundation of building is prohibited. Only small apartments for 10-20 bungalows with a cozy green area.

This is an amazing place, it is not like the usual Hotel Turkey, traditionally prefer yoga and children's camps. The first, probably for the meditative beauty, ye men and positivity; the second - for the cleanliness, convenience and safety of the village area for children, which is ideal even for a holiday with the smallest. Therefore, our vacation at the family camp at the same time combined the advantages of hotel and rest in a pleasant place and full of family vacation that allowed to relax and reboot tired working parents.

Family camp can be recommended to all parents who love their children and caring for them. Staying in it brings the family to better understand your child, find, finally, it's time for it is so lacking in ordinary life, and have a good rest in a pleasant location and good company.
