The time of selecting summer camps for our children is nearly approaching. The months of February and March, which are designated as the kick-off for summer camps, anxiously capture a parent’s attention and make him or her ask the dreaded, yet hopeful question, “What Are My Kids Doing for Summer Camp?”
To alleviate some of the stress, start looking in parenting magazines or sites in your area. There you will find a list of residential or localized camps for your children and their needs. Most parents are aware of their local camps through the YMCA, private schools, universities, sports programs, and religious organizations. However, in viewing my local site, I ran across a plethora of camps that I was unaware of like the 4-H Teen Congress which focuses on government, citizenship, leadership, and community service. The Bachman Academy Summer Quest is a camp specifically for kids with dyslexia and ADHD. The 4-H Motor Sports Day Camp allows children to use mathematical, engineering, and technology concepts to build, understand, and race cars. The ABC Language Stimulation School assists children with speech and language delays. The nature center instructs kids on water ecology and nocturnal animals. The Acting and Scene Study obtained a grant and is a camp for children who are interested in pursuing acting.
Alright, I did go on record to say that there are many camps for you to choose from. You just have to narrow your purpose and mission down along with convenience, reliability/safety, affordability, enrichment, and adventure. Overall, summer camp is a time to make learning and development fun and impactful. So go for it!
