US summer camp: survival lessons in New England

Summer camp is an American tradition which started in the 19th century. Boys and girls spend six

weeks camping out under the stars and singing around the fire. However, they are not on their own.

Monitors aid them in activities which allow them to grow in confidence and develop valuable new

skills.

On a lake close to the Canadian border, Mike is living on an island with 85 other teens. There is no

electricity, no running water and no regular toilet. Boats are the only form of transport and

connection to the modern world. Welcome to the wilderness that is summer camp!

These days, parents think of camp as an opportunity to disconnect their children from video games,

mobile phones and the Internet. Mike was surprised to learn that he could not telephone his parents

from camp. On the island, there are just two mobile phones in case of an emergency. Parents are

encouraged to write to their children and wait for their responses, which are always as short as their

usual text messages.

When Mike’s parents went to visit him, much to their surprise he was happily cleaning his tent

along with three other thirteen-year-olds although he normally hates tidying his room. No doubt

living outdoors can provide an education just as important as the one teens get at school.
