Summer camping

Ah, summer. It’s almost here, the pool, the park, longer days, warm nights, the kids complaining that ‘there’s nothing to do.’ It’s a fact that most students lose a little academic ground over the summer months, so what’s a parent to do? There are so many opportunities now for students of any age in the way of summer camps. I know, I know, the stereotype for summer camps is less than appealing, but summer camps have come a long way in the past 10 years. There are camps for just about every interest. The Rock Farm is a summer camp program that offers daily lessons in guitar, drums, and/or bass guitar; songwriting and improvisation classes. Game Camp USA is a camp centered on building your own video games. New Image Camp is focused on weight loss. There are science camps, horseback riding camps, military camps, creative writing camps, golf camps, and the traditional outdoorsy camps. Program lengths vary from 2 weeks to 8 weeks; there are even a few day camps available and many camps offer financial aid to those who qualify. Pennsylvania has so much to offer its youth this summer, you should check it out. The site listed below has 845 camps, but I am sure there are others to be found. Summer camps are a great way to make new friends and learn a new skill or sharpen an interest. It just might turn out to be an awesome adventure for your student. Happy Camping!
