20 Summer Camp Experiences Your Kids Will Love

As summer approaches, our kids have more time on their hands, which can mean more time on their devices. Many parents find summer camps to be a great way to get kids away from screens and outside. But is your child ready? There's no magic age when a child may be ready for camp, but generally, kids ages 8 or 9 may be willing to start a resident sleep-away camp. Day camp kids can begin as early as age 3, the same age that kids often start preschool programs. Gauge whether the child has spent time away from home at friends' or family's homes to decide whether a resident camp is a good fit or a day camp is more appropriate. One thing is sure, whether it's a sleep-away camp or a day camp, doing your research and getting feedback from the parents of previous campers will give you peace of mind and help your child have a great experience.
