Why Camp
why_camp_bigInside Work Done Outside: Thoughts on the Value of Children’s Camping

At camp, there are moments of exquisite serenity. They may be few and far between, but they are there, moments when the little villages in the woods, normally bustling with feet and ringing with laughter, are frozen frames of silent stillness. When the silky morning sun peers through the forest canopy and turns a dew-covered spider-web into a glistening marvel, the stunning beauty reminds us of the mystery of the place. For all its excitement, there is also a sense of peace. Another paradox of camp is that something so simple can be so significant. How do we explain this? What is it about camping that makes it such a valuable experience for kids? Why is camp such a smart investment for families?

As Real As It Gets - Canoe Tripping at Pioneer
canopy-backThere's a place in C.S. Lewis' The Last Battle, the final installment in the Chronicles of Narnia series, where all the children who have ever visited Narnia pass through a doorway and into a new world which is like Narnia, only different - more real, more wonderful, more like the old Narnia was meant to be. The new Narnia "was a deeper country: every rock and flower and blade of grass looked as if it meant more." For me, canoe tripping is an experience a little bit like that. Time seems to slow down just a touch, and the rocks, trees, and water of the physical surroundings seem to grow in significance, if not in size. Out there, life is as real as it gets. Progress is powered by each stroke of the paddle and measured by landmarks on the map; accomplishment is savoured in a deliciously warm bowl beside a crackling fire. A trip's earthy authenticity translates into unmistakable growth opportunities for all who will risk some sweaty clothes and dirty fingernails -that's why out-tripping is such an integral part of a Pioneer Camp experience.
