Mike and Cristin have given me a book entitled “Your Brain on Nature.”  The cover jacket includes these words:  “Scientific studies have shown that natural environments can have remarkable benefits for human health. Nature is able to promote positive emotions, and spending time outdoors has been associated with heightened physical and mental energy.”

Those of us in the camping industry already know this intuitively, but maybe parents and boys need to be reminded of the life-enhancing benefits associated with going off to camp.  And, while we at Kingswood are out-of-doors nearly every waking moment of the day, we cannot stress enough the importance of taking full advantage of the opportunities to really get out there and witness the miracles of nature.

Talk this over as a family between now and the arrival of summer.
