I believe school camps should not be banned for these reasons.

My first reason is that the students are learning new things but the camp is making it more fun. For example, if the students have to sleep in a tent for a night, the people who work at the camp would tell them what to do and what not to do whilst camping and to make it more interesting. The camp owners would let the kids do a night walk and they have to follow a map, to guide them to  get to their destination.  The people who work at the camp would be at the destination and they gave out marshmallows to the students so they could roast the marshmallows on a campfire.

My second reason is that it is a good experience to go somewhere and stay there for a couple of days without your families because some kids might not be used to going somewhere without their family and going to camp might help them get use to leaving their families and going camp so when the students are in high school, they might have to go overseas or stay longer on camps and this give them less reasons to get home sick if they get use to living away from the family.

My next reason is some of the activities we do at camp, we might not be able to do at home like the giant swing, because for 1, we don’t have the materials to make it and 2, it won’t fit in your backyard unless you have a farm.

My final reason is that the students can make new friends or make new friendship groups and they could like the same things that you like and maybe in the future, you could be friends in high school, in university and maybe in their adult years.

In conclusion, I believe going to camp is a great experience for everyone to enjoy they get to try new things that you would normally not do at home or at school.
