Many of us have fond memories of summer camp. For some of us
it was an overnight camp where we bunked in a cabin or tent, and for others, it
might have been spending several weeks with an aunt or grandparents. It also
might have been a day camp setting where you were able to get away from the
traditional classroom and learn by experiencing.
Experiential learning offers opportunities to create meaning
from direct exposure and hands-on experiences. Examples include learning about
water flow by walking through a stream, learning to count by numbering your
steps or understanding volcanic eruptions by mixing baking soda and
vinegar.

Summer camp is a perfect opportunity for children to be
actively involved in learning and focus on experiences of personal interest. Rich
opportunities for learning exist in the summer camp setting because most camps
provide a platform where learning is informal, meaningful and hands-on.
