Why School Camps Shouldn't Be Banned


It has come to the time where school camps are introduced. Where kids get excited and parents start to struggle with the cost. But sadly the Ministry of Education is soon going to ban school camps. I think that learning in classrooms is okay but learning outside is BETTER.

School camps may cost a lot, but at least parents get four days of peace and quite. Kids will be spending stunning time playing, meeting new friends and of course learning. Parents are probably thinking " how will kids learn when they're at camp?' Well the answer is YES, they will learn lots of things such as creating a camp fire, how to build a tent and lot more.

Camps are not only fantastic, but they're educational. How is school camps educational you ask? Well life is like a adventure, if you don't gain experience, you end up taking if the hard way. Once you child grows up, she'll/he'll look back and hopefully you child will say "what a amazing time I had at camp." Plus if you always wanted your child to be independent, now is your chance.

If your child had always wanted to achieve something or master a skill, let them learn it, because when they grow up they will come  head to head to a difficult activity, but if they went to camp they will gain experience about how it felt like using a dunny, riding a horse.ect. Plus, if they do know all the activities, it's a lot easier to bond with them.

So basically what I wanted to say is please don't ban school camps. Yes, it can get quite expensive, but it's worth the money, because kids will be meeting new friends, having a great time. If school camps are banned, it will make a complete difference to the world and most important, how the kids feel.
