SOCIAL BENEFITS

At YMCA Camp Campbell Outdoor Science School, students and their teachers have the opportunity to create a common bond in the outdoor experience, and can carry that back into the classroom to expand and build upon. Students see their teachers in a whole new light as teachers are able step back from the teaching role, relax and just “play” with their students. Teachers also enjoy watching students who normally struggle in the classroom setting, thrive in this hands-on, outdoor environment. During most weeks, we have two or three different schools attending at the same time. Students from each school are mingled into the cabin and field groups, allowing them to make new friends and get to know children from different cultures and backgrounds. Students also gain independence as they spend 4 days and 3 nights away from home, and learn responsibility as they take care of themselves and their belongings (with proper guidance). Overall, CCOSS students learn to live the core values of the YMCA: Caring, Honesty, Respect, and Responsibility in terms of themselves, others, and for the environment.
