Why Promote Camping in Michigan?

The problem…. Only 9% of Michigan’s Cub Scouts are camping!

The average American boy or girl spends as few as 30 minutes each day in unstructured outdoor play and more than seven hours each day in front of an electronic screen.

Why is Camp Important?

Outdoor play increases fitness levels and builds active, healthy bodies which is a significant focus of Scouting.

Camp is important because…

Exposure to environment-based education significantly increases student performance on tests of their critical thinking skills and improves scores on standardized tests.

Get OUTSIDE!

Children’s stress levels fall within minutes of seeing green spaces and has been shown to reduce or eliminate ADHD.
