Farm & Wilderness was mentioned in a recent American Camp Association article and Twitter post on how summer camps teach children so many things:
Camps engage children in active play and learning in ways that are truly life-changing and unique. Some of the most significant learning happens in the social-emotional realm. In the larger conversation about building children’s skills to resolve conflict, to collaborate, to participate in group decision-making and to acquire and experience many other 21st century skills, sometimes we don’t focus enough on the importance of the fun and the learning that results. Camps help teach children how to be happy! At camp, with a group of campers and dedicated staff, children learn how to make the most of the present moment and that certainly includes finding the happiness in that moment.
