Summer Camp Options to Share with Parents

Arts and Humanities Summer Camps Is your child creative? Does she like to paint or draw? Play music? Or maybe even compose music? Is your child interested in literature or philosophy? Those topics are among the many your child could focus on in one of these summer camps.

Math and Science Summer Camps Some kids are more interested in math and science than they are with the arts and humanities. No problem! There are plenty of camps for them too. Kids can focus on math, science, and technology - including robotics and video game design!

Earth Science Summer Camps Most people can easily imagine camps that would focus on the humanities, the arts, math, and science. But not everyone thinks about camps that focus on the environment and ecology. If your child loves learning and the Earth and its creatures, this kind of camp might be just the right thing.
