The Camp Experience

Amanda has been living the camp experience and sharing memories since 1998 !

20 years as a camp professional seems like a long time to our counselors who are in their early twenties! But, believe it or not, the camp experience hasn’t changed as much as you’d think since I started working at summer camp in Florida when I was 15.

From my perspective, camp experience could be define as « a unique atmosphere created around and for balanced and mindful child development, in all of its aspects : physical, social and emotional. Camp integrates recreation as a learning tool. »

What’s changed in camping since my first summer as a junior counselor at Camp Indian Springs in 1998?

Not as much as you’d think.  

Here is what the camp experience look like at American Village :
