挑選暑期營隊的三大關鍵，你知道了嗎？

每到暑假，許多家長都會思考一個問題：「我要怎麼安排，才能讓孩子的暑假過得充實、有意義？」

雖然「放鬆一下」對孩子來說也很重要，但如果能選擇一個既能玩樂又能成長的營隊，那麼這個暑假，不只是休息，更是孩子蛻變的機會。

但市面上的營隊百百種，從語言學習、學科補習到海外遊學，該怎麼挑，才能真正選到適合自己孩子的營隊呢？

超越教育團隊提出挑選營隊的三大關鍵要素，幫助您為孩子打造一個值得回憶、也真正有收穫的暑假。

一、培養孩子獨立思考與解決問題的能力

成長，不是被安排好的流程，而是孩子在「做中學」的過程。

選擇營隊時，建議優先考量是否能讓孩子自己動腦、動手、動起來。過度安排、步步帶領的營隊，或許看起來井然有序，但卻少了讓孩子真正發現自我、學會選擇與負責的機會。

在超越教育的美國暑期營隊中，老師不給標準答案，而是引導孩子觀察、提問、思考與行動。
從設計解決方案，到與同儕討論合作，孩子在自由探索中練習「自己為自己負責」的能力，也在過程中找到了自我價值與興趣所在。

這樣的經驗，不只適用於營隊，而是延續到未來學業與人生中的每一個挑戰。

二、重視品格教育，從核心價值建立未來力量

學會做人，比學會做事更重要。

現在的孩子面對的挑戰，遠不只是考試和分數，而是更深層的人際關係、壓力調適、價值判斷與自我認同。這也是為什麼，一個真正有深度的營隊，不能忽略「品格教育」。

在超越教育的 I AM Program 中，孩子將透過團隊活動與反思討論，學習誠實、責任、堅持、同理等核心品格。
這些價值不是靠說教灌輸，而是在真實情境中體驗，讓孩子從「做中懂」，進而將這些特質內化為自己的一部分。

我們相信，孩子的內在力量，才是未來面對世界時最可靠的後盾。

三、有意義的戶外走學體驗，讓學習真正發生

您是否也發現，傳統營隊常常「學得多、記得少」？關鍵就在於：學習是否連結真實生活。

超越教育的美國營隊特別強調「走學」概念——走出教室、走進自然、走向世界。不只是戶外活動，更是將知識變成能力的實踐場域。孩子們在自然探索中學習觀察與合作，在任務挑戰中培養領導與溝通能力。這樣的經歷，不僅讓孩子記得深、學得久，也幫助他們更有自信面對未知，培養真正的「行動力」。

🌟 在超越渡過暑假，孩子將從內而外的收穫滿滿

在成長的旅程中，每一段被好好設計的經驗，都可能成為孩子人生的轉捩點。

超越教育相信：暑假，不該只是消磨時間，更是一段可以讓孩子「找到自己、探索未來」的重要旅程。我們用設計思維打造每一場營隊，讓孩子在快樂中學習，在挑戰中成長，在團隊中看見自己。

如果你也正在為孩子尋找一個能玩、能學、能深度對話的營隊，歡迎與我們一起，打造一個不一樣的暑假！

Summer Isn’t a Break from Growth—It’s a Chance to Accelerate It

Do you know the 3 key things to look for when choosing a summer camp?

Every summer, many parents ask themselves the same question: “How can I make sure my child’s summer is meaningful and fulfilling?”

Sure, rest and relaxation are important. But with the right camp, summer can be more than just downtime—it can be a powerful opportunity for growth and transformation.

With so many camp options out there—from language programs to overseas study tours—how can you tell which one is truly right for your child?

At Camp Beyond, we believe that the best camps do more than fill time—they nurture independence, build character, and shape a clearer path for the future. Here are three things we think every parent should look for:

1. Encourages Independent Thinking & Problem-Solving

Growth doesn’t come from following instructions. It comes from trying, struggling, reflecting, and learning.

Look for a camp that encourages your child to think independently, take initiative, and solve problems on their own—not one that spoon-feeds them every step of the way. While well-structured camps may look impressive on the surface, they can often lack the space for real self-discovery.

At Camp Beyond, our instructors don’t provide standard answers. Instead, we guide students to observe, ask questions, think critically, and take action. From designing their own solutions to collaborating with teammates, students learn how to take responsibility for their own growth—and in the process, they often discover new interests and hidden strengths.

These experiences don’t just apply to camp. They’re tools for life, school, and every challenge ahead.

2. Focuses on Character Education: Building Inner Strength

Who you are matters more than what you can achieve.

Today’s teens face much more than academic pressure. They navigate friendship struggles, emotional stress, identity confusion, and value conflicts—every single day. That’s why a meaningful summer camp must go beyond skills and academics and include character development.

In our I AM Program, students engage in meaningful team experiences and guided reflection. Along the way, they build essential traits like honesty, responsibility, empathy, perseverance, and integrity.

We don’t lecture or preach—students experience these values in action, making the lessons more real and lasting. At Camp Beyond, we believe a child’s inner compass is the most powerful resource they have as they face the future.

3. Provides Hands-On, Real-World Outdoor Learning

Ever notice how many traditional camps offer lots of information—but little lasting impact?

The difference lies in whether learning is connected to real life. That’s why our U.S. summer camps emphasize what we call “learning on the move”—stepping out of the classroom, into nature, and into real experiences.

It’s not just about hiking or sightseeing. Our outdoor-based approach turns knowledge into action. Whether it’s solving a challenge in the field, working as a team, or reflecting on a personal experience, every activity is designed to help students apply what they learn, build confidence, and adapt to new situations with resilience.

This kind of learning sticks. It’s active, memorable, and deeply empowering.

🌟 Spend the Summer with Camp Beyond — Where Your Child Grows Inside and Out!

Every well-designed experience can become a turning point in a child’s life.

At Camp Beyond, we believe summer should be more than a way to pass the time. It should be a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and future vision.

That’s why we use a design-thinking approach to craft every camp experience—with purpose, intention, and joy. We help students learn through exploration, grow through challenges, and see themselves more clearly through collaboration.

If you’re looking for a summer camp that blends fun, learning, and meaningful conversations, we invite you to join us in creating a summer that truly makes a difference.
