Why School camps Shouldn't be Banned

When schools start camps, that is the time that parents struggle to pay for their children's camp fees which cost hundreds of dollars. Kids are always thrilled by the time camp is mentioned at their schools;although, the Ministry Of Education is tragically going to ban school camps due to the costly price. 

At first, I'd happen to think that a school camp is possibly the best outdoor experience a child could ever have. Kids are able to get as much Vitamin D as they need and get lots of exercise   At camps, you are able to do what you usually wouldn't get to do every day. It's really disappointing to hear that school camps are planned to be banned.

Kids are able to spend their time being physically active outdoors instead of spending their time on gaming consoles, computers, or devices. Also, camps improve the outdoor education of teenagers, and kids. Camp provides a wonderful opportunity to move around and have fun. 

Camps gain: Independence,  Leadership, Friendships and an Environmental bond.Children become more adventurous and determined to try new things. School camps also develop social skills which help to make new friends. If there was no camp, there would no longer be the best outdoor experience for the next generation of kids.

So do you really want to end school camps for your children's outdoor education? Think about what it would be like without camps for kids. I'd happen to disagree with this awful plan of banning school camps. Think about the children...

  1. Wonderful work Gill, I really really liked how you had so many reasons and points to draw the readers minds to keep reading it. And to be honest, when I was reading it I was getting more and more excited to read whats next. I just have one question, if they weren't banning the school camps would you have a different story?
