Kids used to ride bikes until dinner.
Now? They endlessly scroll.
If that feels familiar, you’re not alone. A recent survey found that 33% of people want to reduce screen time, and parents are feeling the pressure more than ever. Devices are everywhere, limits are hard to enforce, and even the most thoughtful rules don’t always stick.
Enter summer camp.
Why Parents Are Craving a Digital Reset
When it comes to camp, kids usually fall into one of two camps themselves:
✨ Pure joy (think: friendships, fresh air, Parent Trap vibes)
😬 Total dread (anything that sounds like being off screen)
Digital detox camps might sound intimidating at first—but parents are increasingly turning to outdoor, movement-based camps because doing it alone at home can feel impossible. Studies show that a significant number of parenting conversations now revolve around tech, screen limits, and social media—and it’s exhausting.
The truth? Parents can’t do it all, and they shouldn’t have to.
Why Outdoor Camp Works
Experts agree: there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to screen time. Kids are clever, algorithms are persuasive, and constant monitoring is unrealistic. What does help is creating environments where screens simply aren’t the focus—and where kids are fully engaged in their bodies, their breath, and the world around them.
That’s where It’s Yoga Kids® Camps in the Presidio shine.
Yoga, Nature, and Real Connection
At camp, kids:
- Move their bodies through yoga, games, and play
- Spend hours outdoors in one of San Francisco’s most beautiful natural spaces
- Build real friendships and social skills—no devices required
- Learn mindfulness tools that support focus, confidence, and emotional regulation
Instead of scrolling, they’re stretching.
Instead of zoning out, they’re tuning in.
It Takes a Village
Experts often say the most powerful (and hardest) advice for parents is to lead by example—put the phone down and stay connected. Camps help make that possible by offering kids a shared, screen-free experience while giving parents breathing room and support.
Reducing screen time doesn’t have to mean constant conflict. Sometimes, it just means changing the environment.
This summer, give your child the gift of movement, nature, and connection.
