There’s something almost magical about summer camp. The crackling campfire, the chorus of frogs at night, the sound of kids laughing as they run between cabins and canoes. But it’s not just the scenery or the s’mores that make camp so valuable—it’s what happens in kids while they’re at camp.

If you’ve been on the fence about sending your child to summer camp, here are ten compelling reasons to make it happen this year. It’s more than just a break for them (and maybe for you)—it’s an investment in their heart, their mind, their friendships, and their faith.
