1. How Coed Summer Camps
Teach Respect for the
Opposite Sex

2. The battle of the sexes between men and
women has been in existence since the dawn
of time. This begins at a young age.
It’s common to see boys and girls having
troubles interacting well with the opposite
sex.

3. They don’t know how to communicate and
how to behave around each other.
“Many children outgrow this but many still
bring this with them to their teenage years
and even into their adulthood.”

4. There are many things
parents can do to teach
their children how to
interact positively with
kids of the opposite sex.

5. One of the more effective methods is by
sending children to a coed summer camp.
This is extremely beneficial, especially if your
kid is studying in an all-boys school or an allgirls school.

6. A coed program will let boys interact with
girls and vice versa in a supervised,
structured, fun and positive setting.

7. Highly Trained
Staff Guide
Interactions

8. According to child development experts, putting
kids of different sexes together in one
environment supervised by highly trained
overnight summer program organizers improves
friendliness and increases compassion.

9. These experts point out that understanding the
other gender aside from one’s own is a crucial
component of the development of young
people.

10. Coed sleepaway summer camps can also instill
the value of gender equality and the
importance of respect towards the members of
the opposite sex.

11. One of the main hesitations that a number of
parents may have on sending their children to
coed camp is the fear that their kids won’t be
able to do activities specific to their sex.
THIS IS NOT TRUE.

12. A good camp will have exclusive activities for
boys and separate activities for girls.
Of course, there are activities that boys and
girls do together and these are supervised by
experienced and competent camp staff.

14. If there are conflicts which are unavoidable
in camp settings, they are
immediately resolved.

15. Another fear many parents have about coed
summer camps is the possible distraction the
kids of the opposite sex may have on their
children.

16. It’s typical for a young boy to have a crush on a
young girl and vice versa. Sometimes girls will
quarrel because they like the same boy and
boys engage in fist fights because they like the
same girl.

17. According to child psychologists, having these
feelings is normal; the important thing is to
channel these feelings positively.

18. At well supervised camp, girls are discouraged
from wearing cosmetics and are encouraged to
just be themselves even when around boys.
Learning how to deal with these emotions at a
young age is better than facing them at later
time and not knowing how to control these
feelings.

19. Overall, coed summer camps are good venues
where children can learn respect for the
members of the opposite sex.
On top of this, children acquire other values
such as charity, teamwork, sportsmanship,
camaraderie and taking care of the
environment.

20. Plus, they learn all these while having fun and
meeting new friends.

22. Camp Walt Whitman, located in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire,
is the best coed sleepaway camp
available in New England.

23. Boys and girls
from 2nd grade
to teens have the
time of their lives
every summer.
