Yoyojoe – Born To Camp

Wow, there is a headline to get your attention.

I attended a session recently at the International Camping Congress in Quebec CIty that covered some research done on camps and the book, “Last Child in the Woods”.  The research was trying to show that camp was not part of the problem but part of the good side.  I’m not so sure about this personally – I believe that it has more to do with how programmed our campers are at camp – we do not allow for free play.

Here is the article that I came across about the report from the Active Healthy Kids Canada organization.  Here is a link directly to the report.

We need to pay attention as camping professionals to this information.
