For many international families, making a trip to the United States is high up on their bucket list. Many parents want to give their children the gift of travel and expose them to different places and cultures in order to better shape their understanding of the world. Planning a trip to a brand new country can be overwhelming, as there is so much to see and do, and it can be hard to find activities that the whole family can enjoy together. Regardless of what they do or where they go, families traveling to the states from other countries just want to spend time with each other while experiencing the culture and lifestyle of a new place. This is why so many international families fall in love with Family Camp, as it is a way for the entire family to fully immerse themselves in the American summer camp experience in a place that is safe and family focused.

Families who experience Family Camp together have the opportunity to participate in traditional summer camp games and activities as a group, as well as individuals. Activities are broken up by age group, so everyone in the family can find something they love that is age appropriate, even the adults. Having a balance of family time and individual time helps each member discover their strengths and passions while encouraging, inspiring, and connecting with each other at the same time. When the family comes together as a whole, lifelong memories are made. This precious time void of distractions like cell phones and laptops allows family members to bond and really reconnect, to laugh, share stories, have intimate conversations and try new things together. Family Camp opens up windows of discussion and conversation that parents and kids are craving, and establishes a line of communication that is vital for the growth of each member.

Each day, every family member can participate in activities such as swimming, ropes courses, arts and crafts, softball, photography, yoga and hiking. Evening programs like campfires, game shows and scavenger hunts are a great way to end a day full of fun, and special events like The Color War are sure to create lasting memories for the whole family. Three healthy and delicious meals are served a day and serve as another great opportunity for the whole family to come together, enjoy a meal, and have some meaningful conversations.

International families can experience the traditional American summer camp experience together and can get to know other families from all across the globe. This is an awesome way for parents to teach their children about diversity, acceptance, and culture, all disguised as the best summer vacation they’ve ever had.

Another reason international families love Family Camp is because of the location. After a 3, 4 or 6 night experience at Family Camp, families can move on to see some of the country’s famous landmarks, such as New York City and Niagara Falls. The camp is only 3 hours from LaGuardia Airport, making it easy for families to jump on a flight and continue their once in a lifetime USA family vacation.

For a memorable vacation for the whole family, Family Camp is a one-stop shop for a vacation the whole family will love.
