There is nothing kids enjoy more than getting out of school for the summer. No more having to get up early and no more homework until the end of summer when school starts again. Unfortunately, for parents who have to work all summer, there isn’t always an opportunity to make the most of summer vacation and kids could end up wasting their entire summer in front of the TV or playing video games.
If you always thought of summer camp as a punishment for kids who wanted to stay indoors, then you need to take a look at some of the more modern versions of camp that are available for kids today of all ages. Not only are some of them designed as a place where kids can have lots of fun but at a themed camp they can even learn to do something that they have always been interested in.
Movie Camp. If your child has fantasies about being the next great actor or director, there are camps where they teach every aspect of the movie making business. Not only will your child learn how the real movie business operates but he/she will probably have the opportunity to entertain you with the final production that is the result of most of these summer camps, either in person or on video tape.
Adventure Camp. For the teenager who is always bored, an adventure camp is sure to bring excitement to life. Whether it is an interest in horseback riding or in whitewater kayaking, there are all types of adventure and adventure sports camps that will give them the adventure they long for while they are in a safe and controlled environment.
Educational Camp. For those kids who are always ready to learn something new, academic and educational camps will give them the opportunity to learn more about their favorite subjects. They can enjoy cultural studies, photography, science, animal studies, archaeology and much, much more.
Space Camp. There is nothing that will compare to space camp at Camp Kennedy Space Center where children will learn all about exploring space and what it takes to work for NASA. Campers even get to meet and learn from a real astronaut!
If you can’t afford to send your kids to camp or your children are to young to send away from home, look for day camps that are offered in your area in the summer. Check your local library and any community colleges to find out what is available.
If your child has a special condition like diabetes or asthma that makes it difficult to attend regular events, there are camps for kids where he/she can be with others who understand what they are going through while giving them the opportunity to enjoy their summer break
You will find a number of summer camp directories online to help you find the right one for your child/children and keep them outside and active during their summer vacation.
