Giving your child the gift of a sleep-away summer camp experience is one they will cherish for the rest of their lives. But what about kicking it up a notch? Why not treat your entire FAMILY to the summer camp experience of their dreams, and make it an international vacation?

If you’ve ever thought about bringing your family to the United States for a dream vacation, spending it at Family Camp at America’s Finest Summer Camps is the way to do it! Not only are you allowing your child to experience the excitement and adventure of international travel, but also you are including a final destination that they will remember forever.

Families who travel internationally benefit in many ways. The shared experiences of travel bring families together and connects them in a special way. Getting somewhere together takes teamwork, and families who work together to get from point A to point B successfully set themselves up for working together in other areas of their lives. Part of traveling internationally is learning new things, and when families learn together, they have another thing to bond over. Whether it is learning to read a map, decipher unfamiliar road signs, learning a new language or trying a new food, parents and children who travel internationally broaden their horizons and learn to appreciate diversity. Traveling together as a family gives parents the opportunity to give new responsibilities to their children, to help them branch out of their comfort zone, and expose them to new things. Studies have even shown that kids who travel with their families do better in school than those who don’t!

The many options for things to do at camp give families a great opportunity to connect. There are family activities that require everyone work together towards a common goal, and individual, age appropriate activities from everyone from the little Tykes to teens and adults. These activities are made to strengthen the bonds between family members, and to provide a lifetime of memories and stories that start with “Remember when we went to Family Camp and….?”  Having access to so many different activities, programs and events gives every family member a chance to explore things they’ve never done, and experiencing this as a family brings everyone closer.

From eating together to sharing a cabin, this quality time spent without the distraction of cellphones, homework, social media and overtime helps to build a solid foundation for every family that comes to camp. Many international families use Family Camp as a starting point for an even longer vacation. From camp, they head to NYC, Niagara Falls and the Pocono Mountains. They get their trip off to a great start by really connecting together and recharging their batteries, and it sets them up for a fun filled vacation for the rest of the summer.

The thing that makes Family Camp so special is all of the different families that come to take part in it. Adults and kids alike leave with brand new friends, most of whom they would have never met had they not come to camp. International families benefit from Family Camp because it’s a safe place to learn about a new culture, in a place where they are welcomed and where people are excited to have them. Traveling abroad can be exciting, but also a little scary, and Family Camp aims to take the stress out of being in a new county by allowing families to play in a way they don’t normally get to back home.

Family Camp is made for all types of families, from all different parts of the world. It is a safe place where families can learn more about each other, strengthen relationships, talk, listen and most importantly, reconnect. Giving your family the gift of an international vacation where they can play, explore and experience new things with you by their side is the best gift you can give them. It’s not only a fun way to build the summer, but a once in a lifetime opportunity that builds character, self-esteem, and family bonds.
