Camp can be intimidating for campers, especially those in younger age groups and first-timers. Icebreakers, teambuilding, and social emotional learning (SEL) activities are important to get campers acclimated. Working these activities into the beginning of the week, at the beginning of each day, will provide many benefits:
- Make it easier for campers to socialize and get to know each other.
- Help campers work better together.
- Reduce camper conflict and disciplinary issues.
- Assist campers in learning others’ names.
- Allow campers to work and play with kids they may not normally have an opportunity.
- Help campers make friends more easily.
- Assist in creating bonds and forming connections.
- Help to develop important skills like problem-solving, listening, leading, and creative thinking.
- Help campers listen, communicate, and show empathy.
- Improve self-esteem.
