1 . Did you take part in a camp this summer ?     1     To choose which camp is best   for you, first you must do a bit of research.

Maybe you've never thought about it before, but every great summer camp has the same   main goals — opportunity, challenge and growth.

Opportunity means you are given a chance to do something special.     2     For   example, if you are interested in writing, then you can choose to join a journalism camp. You may even have the opportunity to meet famous journalists there.

    3     You       must       finish       the       task       and succeed in overcoming the challenge. Then     you will have a sense of accomplishment. For example, you could take a lifeguard course at some summer camps. If you pass the exam, then you will receive a certificate (证书）to become a real lifeguard.

This also leads to the third and most important goal of every great summer camp personal growth. It doesn’t mean growing taller and stronger or more beautiful. It means seeing yourself improve, learning something new and doing something you didn’t know you could do before.     4    .

So in the future, when choosing your next summer camp, remember to ask yourself: Is it a special opportunity? Is it a challenge? Will I grow?

    5     These will all happen naturally when you have the right goals at summer   camp.
