| Summer camp provides your child with the chance to develop
character, learn valuable life skills, make new
friends, and discover new interests. Finding the right
summer camp for your child is as important as helping
them find the right college! At
MySummerCamps.com, our goal is to help parents
find kids and teen summer camps in Canada and the USA
that will meet the needs of your child.
The key to finding the right summer camp is to
first ask some questions. What do you and your child
hope to achieve from the camp experience? Does your
child have any special interests that they want to
explore? Is a lot of structure desirable?
Once you've answered these basic questions you will be
able to select the type of summer camp appropriate for
your child. Camps fall into two major
categories-traditional camps and specialty camps.
Either type of camp is capable of providing a
fantastic summer experience.
Traditional Summer Camp
Traditional camps offer a variety of activities
including outdoor recreation, arts and crafts,
individual activities, team activities, and more. Kids
at traditional camps select their favorite activities
from a list and spend as much or as little time on
each activity as they choose. Traditional camps are
best for children who love to do many different types
of things or who are easily bored.
Traditional camps can be day camps or sleepaway camps.
Day camps allow children to participate in camp
activities during the day but stay at home with
parents during the evening. Sleepaway camps are camps
where kids stay at camp under the supervision of adult
guardians for a week or a month at a time.
Specialized Summer Camp
Specialized camps focus their instruction on one
activity like dance or basketball. This type of camp
is geared towards children intent on improving
performance in the specialized activity. Children who
are extremely motivated in one specific activity and
who can concentrate on one thing for long periods are
best suited for specialty camps. | Choose a camp state/province
