Camp is Real!

Hero-FW19-810x450

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the best things about camp is being “unplugged” from cell phones, video games, television and the internet. Campers admit that it’s really tough to give that stuff up at first, but once they settle in at camp, they appreciate living in real life.

Turning off technology allows students to really engage all of what camp offers— the real friendships, the physical activity, and the chances to explore and discover the natural world. Instead of being entertained by a flickering screen, students get to create a fun time with friends. Campers get to actually do really cool things instead of just sitting around “watching” something.

When you think about it, there’s a lot more to life, to being human, than “facebooking,” text messaging, and watching “reality” TV. These days, it takes a real effort to get past all of that so you can exercise those more important parts of who you are. Camp is special place to help with that effort. It’s perfect for reminding you that life is more fun in the real world.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][ultimate_heading main_heading=”Faith Week 2019 Promo Video”][/ultimate_heading][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_cta h2=”Learn More at Faith Week” h4=”June 28 – July 2nd, 2019″ color=”blue” add_button=”bottom” btn_title=”Learn More” btn_color=”primary” btn_link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Ffaithweek.org||target:%20_blank|”]For over 43 years, Faith Week has been marked as a week where you will meet with God, experience His presence and leave changed.

Camp Expands Every Students Abilities

Archery-Tag-600x400

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Summer camp used to be about acquiring survival skills. Now it’s about the social skills that need work. Parents used to send their kids to summer camp to toughen up a bit, to learn practical outdoor skills. Being away from the comforts of home and away from parents’ assistance, made this possible. Now camp is a place for kids to unplug and explore life without cellphones, text messaging, and their social media accounts. In other words, camp is still a place to break from the familiar, and when faced with new challenges, grow in new ways. There are many benefits to camp: social (learning to share, communicate, cooperate and so forth) physical (like becoming a stronger swimmer), emotional (like the joy of being completely silly), and psychological (like becoming more confident and self-assured).

Sometimes it’s hard to see this, but all these benefits of a student camp, not to mention how fun it is, arise because camp is so different from life at home and at school. Preserving that difference is one of the main reasons Eastwood Tulsa doesn’t allow cellphones, computers, Internet access, electronic games, and other forms of technology that tether kids to what they have at home. It’s one reason why sneaking a cellphone into camp is a terrible idea. While it may make you feel better, it will dilute, if not destroy, what summer camp is all about.
Camp is a place to acquire new skills and grow up a little while having a great time with your friends. It works because it’s not the same as home, and that’s a good thing.
