GUIDE

TO

If you're on the fence about sending your child to camp this summer, make sure to do some research — these aren't your mama's summer camps! While there are plenty of opportunities to sit around the campfire à la "The Parent Trap," think BIGGER. Teens can unplug and establish life-long friendships while scuba diving or sailing on an international adventure! Younger kids can learn more about robotics, engineering or the arts during week-long overnight camps or day camps (your choice). Week-long summer camps are a thing of the past — the options are limitless, so join in on the fun!
