Which camps should my child attend?
Take Our Summer Camp Quiz When we were kids, we
just hung around the house during the summer; we played with friends and maybe took swim lessons or an art class. Unstructured time and fun classes are excellent ways to spend breaks from school, but summer camps offer awesome benefits as well. Camps give kids experiences and tools to help discover who they are, what they like/dislike, and what they want to become. Children gain confidence when given the freedom and opportunities to explore new ideas and activities. These days there are camps for everything imaginable! If you are wondering how to choose camps for your child this summer, take this fun quiz together. Involving your child in the decision-making process helps him be invested in the experience.
