Adventure Camps for Kids and their Dads
More Than Your Average Adventure Camps for Kids
With the overwhelming majority of kids today addicted to screens (keeping up with what's happening on social media, and gaming etc.), and our authorities removing all kinds of risk-taking activities (in our schools, and at our local parks etc.), even good, mitigated risks, for fear of legal action against them... Is it any wonder that we're seeing an increase in cases of depression, anxiety, isolation, boredom etc.?
So, what's the solution? ADVENTURE!
According to the Child Study Center at Yale University, participation in kids Adventure Camps will almost always result in the following lasting benefits…
1. A growth in confidence,
2. An increase in self-esteem,
3. An increase in maturity, and
4. A growth in resilience and adaptability.
For those reasons alone, kids Adventure Camps are a logical investment for parents to make into the lives and futures of their children.
I mean, what parent doesn’t want their children to experience and reflect each of those attributes?
That said, the purpose of this article is to specifically reveal the X-factor of one specific type of Adventure Camps for kids, that is truly head and shoulders above the rest. Read on to discover why...
Adventure Camps for Kids and Their Dads
Fathering Adventures first launched back on July 1, 2008, and have an Adventure Camp for almost every father and child pair.

And despite only recently starting to ask for google reviews, there are now more than 135, 5-star reviews, available to read through.
Why Adventure Camps for Kids and Their Dads Specifically?
Dads are far more important than you have been led to believe.

2. Have a healthy self-esteem,
3. Exhibit empathy and pro-social behaviour, and
4. Avoid high-risk behaviours such as drug use, truancy, and criminal activity
… compared to kids who have fathers who are not involved.
Unfortunately, dads today are more distracted than ever before throughout all of human history, and as a result, kids, and the father and child relationship is adversely affected, potentially forever.

Adventure Camps Do Not Have to Be a Full Outdoor Camp Experience
Whilst the professionally-guided / commercially-guided outdoor adventures are always based outdoors, as the name suggests, we understand that most dads actually prefer to sleep in a bed, indoors, after a day of adventure outdoors, rather than sleeping on the ground whilst camping in tents.
And that’s why each father and child pair, are always allocated a private room or cabin as their accommodation component in their Adventure Camp with us.
It's always good to be adventurous outdoors during the day, yet comfortable indoors in the evening.
