Summer's
Impact
All Children
Summer camps impact Texas children of all backgrounds. It allows them to interact with other children they may have never had the chance to play with before, teaches them to use critical thinking in brand new situations and environments, and gives them an outlet to learn who they are outside of the classroom. Camp teaches our children the importance of resilience, and that no matter what, you get up time and time again and keep trying.
Employment
Youth camps and other summer activities that operate primarily June-August need to set dates a year in advance. This allows ensures they're able to hire employees and give them dates for operation as well as training.
Teachers
Many camp staffing consists of teachers. Uniform start and end dates also ensures that they have secure summer employment.
Young Adults
Along with teachers, camp staffing relies heavily on high school and college-age students. Uniform state and end dates help camps with staffing, alsong with allowing students to set up the summer employment many of them rely on.
