Many young TNPrs are now grown, have their own wives, and are seeking inspiration and counsel for this new phase in their lives. This video is for YOU. In this heartfelt and hard-hitting Nutnfancy Philosophy episode, Mrs. Nutnfancy and I tackle the big question: Should you send your kid to summer camp? For many modern parents, the idea feels risky or even reckless, but we're here to say the answer is a resounding YES if done right.

We dig deep into the life-changing benefits camp offers: confidence-building, leadership growth, new friendships, water and swimming skills, survival abilities, nature discovery, journaling (yes), building life stories (so important), physical fitness, and even hidden talent discovery. It’s the kind of positive, structured challenge that many kids desperately need and rarely get in today's coddled, screen-dominated world.

But we don’t ignore the risks. We talk candidly about real concerns like safety, abuse, and poor oversight at some camps. That’s why we emphasize parental due diligence. Vet the camp thoroughly, read reviews, talk to staff, and equip your child with a way to contact you if needed. Bottom line, with solid prep, camp isn’t just a vacation. It’s character development in the wild, alongside other kids navigating the same journey. Here we share our own experiences, reasoning, and some hilarious personal stories (like making out with random chicks on the ski lift, yes that happened) that just might change your whole perspective on one of the best decisions you'll make for your child.

I'm looking forward to watching this.

I can’t overstate what good youth groups trips for me as a kid. I was that shy kid who thought I had no place doing things like camping and canoeing but it turned out I was pretty good. I was that artsy quiet kid but it turned out that a lot of what made me good at art translated directly into survival skills. I was more patient, had better attention to details, and was more resourceful than most of my peers. Those experiences formed a foundation of confidence that carried me through a lot in life. I’m lucky to work with a youth group now and I hope I can do the for those kids what others did for me.

Would you ever do a vid on journaling? I suck at it.

The Nutnfancy Project

Yes! This is exactly what we are talking about in the video. So many things to learn in an experience like a great summer camp. Great comment, bro.

As a eleven year old, my parents sent me to a seven day, six night summer camp in central NH (1976). There were over two hundred kids attending, great counselors and engaging activities. The facility/property was very large and well planned. They segregated sleeping, bathing, and certain activities. I have many fond memories of that week. I was filled with anxiety on the trip up, but empowered on trip home.

100% agree Col, going to camp helps gain kids independence and confidence. My son went to Boy Scout Camp every summer since he was a Webelo until he earned his Eagle. Even though I was a Scout Leader that had to go some years, those years I made sure that he was off and running with the rest of the boys and not just hanging out at my camp chair. Both are young adults now, and while not terribly social (they are who they are), they are both fiercely independent. Great video Col, hope young parents listen and follow yours and Mrs Nutnfancy's advice it will serve their kids well. Oh and yes I went as a boy myself (your comments on coming back reminded me of the summer I got the nick name "Bubbles" while at camp. 😂

Right on! Just picked my son up from a month at his sleep away camp this weekend, and will watch as soon as I can. Our girls got back from a month at their camp on Friday.

The Nutnfancy Project

Well done max, they will be better for the experience and memories, great Dad-ship

The Nutnfancy Project

Nice! Another great testimonial David, TY. I wish we had sent our boys to such, we missed out on it

The Nutnfancy Project

EXCELLENT comment and info, glad to hear all of that. Doing research for the subject we realized how hard it is for even good parents to replicate the experience of a quality kids summer camp. And getting out from their 'family environment' is always a healthy thing.

Publius Cato

Just learned my membership lapsed in April. Sorry about that, Nutn.

Elijah Ballard

I agree with adventure. Our society values chasing money over quality of life which is important but, I think people miss out on a lot of life experiences because they don’t have a stack of money in the bank.

Elijah Ballard

Nutn do you plan on your kids reading your journals someday?

OE

Just having it accessible will do wonders. Nutn mentioned incorporating a writing utensil into our EDC. The pen and pad is sadly the only everyday item I've consistently carried on me in the last decade. Gotten and getting better though.

I'm lettin' my boys from Cayo know about this. The 4 of us have been going down to the island off Ft. Myers since we were in elementary school together. We'd go anywhere from a week to a month 'n-a-half. But it acted as our summer camp. Dad taught road safety through ATV driving, we got resourceful and created ventilation for a burn barrel by shooting it with the .22s Dad taught us fundamentals on, and we came up with unique ways to catch bait fish (kicking/splashing them up onto the shore, throwing shells/sand to force them out of the water, and digging a trench and then trapping them with piled-up mounds once they went far enough in). We learned to read a compass, we had all sorts of chores/maintenance work, and were given the chance to draw, do puzzles, and play board games. I hope to be a parent that can provide opportunity and experience to my kids as you did for yours and mine did for me once Emily and I are ready to pull the trigger. Thanks for the work you put in to put out the content Sir.

OE

Interested to know his response as well. Perhaps post-humously, but I would wager not until then. Maybe we can pry some excerpts outta him though if we chip away enough through interest and engagement. I support him though if he doesn't wanna share anything with us or his sons though.

Elijah Ballard

I listen to the Fat Electrician on YouTube and I don’t see how some of the context of WW2 hero’s he has found could be shared without a journal of some sort being read.

Thomas C Heston Jr

Have you always been narcissistic?? I'm feeling sympathetic towards Mrs Nutnfancy. i think you have missed out not letting her be more of the family dynamic.

Gilbert Cuzdey Jr

Not quite the answer I expected honestly. I thought the world has gotten too creepy and pedo centric to send kids to camp. I definitely need to re-evaluate this.

Gilbert Cuzdey Jr

I don't think anybody of us know enough to make that kind of statement.

Brandon conley

I agree 100%. My 8 and 10 year old girls went to camp this year. 8 year old does a 2 night explorer camp for their first year and the ten year old does a whole week. They loved it. It’s a Christian camp my wife grew up attending, and counseling at. We introduced the girls to the camp by going to “Family Camp” which is a long weekend done over both Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Those are great because it’s like going to summer camp as an adult, but you get to bring your kids. You do all the camp activities like eating out of the dining hall, shooting rifle and archery boating, waterfront, but you do it as a family and you can take them when they’re still too young to go to the summer camps.

I went to civil air patrol leadership encampment 4 or 5 times. Pararescue orientation twice. International air cadet exchange (IACE) once as well. Time very well spent. I’d encourage any teen to consider the CAP.

Dan

It’s interesting. Overnight camp is a very common among Jewish families. It has been passed off the culture forever. It is almost assumed that we will go. And i agree it is a pivotal part of adolescent development.
