subject: A School Camp Can Help Your Child Live A Joyful And Tolerant Life [print this page] School camp experiences are a common part of Finnish lives today. Almost all children in Finland visit a camp of some kind as they are growing up. This is primarily due to the belief systems that developed after WWII. Many citizens of Finland believed that children who had only been exposed to city life were missing out on the more amazing aspects of life. As a result, many people believed that children need to be exposed to more diversity and more natural environments to fully develop their minds and their lives.
Now that Finnish children are exposed to the environments of camps, many people believe that children have more positivity in their lives. It is also believed that camp experiences increase the amount of tolerance children have for the diversity of the world's people as well.
Children who are not exposed to these positive environments often only have access to what they can find in city environments. Due to the notoriously crude nature of city life, children who are only exposed to these environments are shortchanged in a way. They are never given a chance to see the beauty and serene environments found in nature.
Children who visit camps in Finland are also exposed to positive religious beliefs in many instances as well. These experiences in luokkaretki help influence the religious beliefs and the interactions they have with other people throughout their lives.
Class trips are also commonly utilized by instructors and parents to help expand the minds of their children. By exposing children to information they are not commonly exposed to on a regular basis, they can gain a fuller picture and a more accurate picture of the extraordinary and beautiful nature of their world.
The limited experiences children who grow up in cities endure generally places rather extreme limitations on their development. Rather than building a tolerance for the diversity of the world, many children who grow up in cities develop ignorance of the diverse beliefs that exist around them. Many of these children also end up incapable of truly grasping the amazing grace and tremendous beauty that can be found in nature and natural wonders around the world.
The children who are exposed to more religious beliefs, more concepts revolving around the natural world, and the pure pleasantness of nature are given an entirely different perspective. In this way, not only do children who are given a chance to go to camps and go on field trips capable of thinking about more important concepts, but they are also able to respect the diversity found in communities and the unique qualities that are found in individuals around the world.
This is why camps are so popular today too. Finnish adults understand the importance of their child's education. They also understand that diverse experiences often lead to more expanded thinking patterns. As a result, many parents who want to see their children live the fullest lives possible do everything they can to ensure their children are exposed to the environments of school camp events and school field trips.
