Camps hold such a pivotal place in children’s lives. Kids can learn an instrument, a language, archery, swimming and communication skills, and they can gain valuable friendships. As hard as it is to let them go, camp can provide a fantastic experience for your children.
In this issue, we explore how to choose a camp. We give you guidance on questions to ask a camp before sending your child away for a week or more. We also have a great article on how to build confidence in kids. Be sure to check out the book nook with books on camps and the health corner for great information on summer safety.
Our camp listing is under directories on our website. Check it out for options for your child.
