Coed Niagara Adventure Camp!
Opening NAC Doors to Girls
You may have heard the news that a Coed Niagara Adventure Camp is starting this summer, July 2022. After hosting boys only, for 43 years, the Robert land Academy campus is opening its doors to girls during the NAC Camp operation. This is something we have wanted to do for some time, and are so excited to start! If you are interested in our beginnings, read our blog post on why Robert Land Academy started a summer camp here.
There were numerous factors that lead us to this decision. Last year, we had a significant number of inquiries regarding girls attending our camps. Our answer at the time was no, but then we began to ask ‘why not?’ Over time we realized, there were no ‘why nots?’. So we began to review our program. While we did this we saw that it was something both boys and girls would enjoy, and we had the facilities and space to incorporate more campers in a separate area…There was no reason not to include girls in the camp!
Another reason we decided to incorporate girls into the camp was largely due to the contents of our mission statement. We want to help develop the physical, emotional, and interpersonal skills of our campers. In order to do the latter, our campers need to learn to work together with individuals of multiple genders, ages, and backgrounds. Learning to respect and appreciate one another, and ourselves is a key element of NAC’s program. This is something both boys and girls would benefit from. Sadly, these are all skills that Covid-19 made difficult for children to learn and develop over the past 2 years. NAC understands this, and plans their activities very intentionally to enhance these skills!
