Why School Holiday Programs are a Cool Way for Kids to Learn

 When schools are closed, as a parent you may be worried about what your kids will do all day. Will they mess up the house? Will they waste valuable time doing nothing constructive? Will they be up to mischief? Worse, will they be up to no good?

Well, why worry when there are a whole bunch of school holiday programs to choose from? But, why pick a school holiday program in the first place?




Benefits of School Holiday Programs for Kids

  1. It’s Fun!

School holiday programs are almost like school, but without the boredom and performance pressure. The best holiday programs are all about learning. And kids are naturally curious - they love to learn new stuff — it just needs to be interesting and fun. 

The best school holiday programs are engaging, and never boring. It’ll keep your child occupied, drain off that excess energy positively, and keep the grey cells ticking. 

  1. Different Challenges & Challengers

Life is all about improving everyday. And improvement is maximised when forced to overcome challenges. At a holiday camp, your children will learn different methods of training. They will also practise new drills. This will help them get better at their game.

They will also be competing against others than they are usually used to. They will learn from their new rivals and teammates. This will help them grow mentally, and also improve their act.

  1. Meet New Coaches

One of the top reasons kids drop out of sports is that they don’t get along with a coach. At a school holiday program, they get to meet different coaches. They learn different coaching styles. And they experience different coach-pupil dynamics. 

This change might be just what the doctor ordered for your kid. 

  1. Make More Friends

Perhaps the biggest benefit of a holiday program is that your kids get to meet new people. This can be both challenging as well as exciting. It helps build social and interpersonal skills. It teaches your kids to get along with others. It also nurtures conflict resolution abilities.

Holiday camps get your kids out of their comfort zones and expands their circle of friends.
