Article Surfing ArchiveSpending Summers At Girls Camps Great Vacation Alternative - Articles SurfingWant your girl to do more during her summer vacation than sit at home and become addicted to soap operas? You might think about planning a week or two at a girls camp. While she could learn important life lessons and have a great time at any summer camp, girls-only camps are great options for girls because the counselors at girls' camps also strive to address issues specific to girls. If your daughter is the high adventure type, she does not have to worry about missing out on anything by attending a girls' camp. There are girls-only camps for almost any activity or interest your daughter might want to pursue. Some girls will tell you the best feature of a girls' camp is that there are only girls there, no boys. In an environment with no boys, girls feel more free to participate in any activity they choose, such as swimming, without feeling uncomfortable around the boys. They don't have to worry about boys laughing at them if they attempt an activity and don't do as well as a boy might. In this atmosphere, girls can participate in sports such as running, basketball, archery and range shooting without having to worry about competing with the boys. Counselors at these girls-only camps can also address self-esteem issues specific to girls such as weight, dieting and attractiveness. Some parents also prefer a girls-only camp because they don't have to worry that any hanky panky will be going on during their child's week at camp. Probably one of the most well known girls-only camps is Girl Scout Camp. These camps can be found in locations all across the United States. Unlike privately owned or family owned camps, girls who wish to attend Girl Scout camp must be an active member of the Girl Scouts. Unlike some camps your daughter could attend, Girl Scout camps are more traditional in nature. They offer a mix of the usual camp activities such as swimming, canoeing, archery and horseback riding. A week or two at Girl Scout camp is usually reasonably priced and within most families' budgets. Girls who want a high adventure camping trip can select from a wide variety of adventure oriented camps. In fact, nearly every sport or activity that is offered in a coed camp can also be found in a girls-only camp. These camps let girls explore and enjoy adventures without having to worry about keeping up with the boys. Other camps just for girls offer activities like acting, modeling, ballet, gymnastics and music. Some of these camps carry a hefty price tag, however, so you might want to suggest to your daughter she start saving her allowance to help out with fees. A girls' camp offers advantages that both girls and their parents like. While girls can relax and have fun in a boy-free environment, parents don't have to worry about inappropriate relations between boys and girls as they do if their daughter goes to a coed camp. Girls-only camps also offer nearly any activity your daughter might like to try so it's easy to find one that is right for her.
