Summer Camps : Summer Camps for Kids, Teens & Youth

Summer camps provide your child with the chance to develop character, learn valuable life skills, make new friends, and discover new interests. Finding the right summer camps for your child are 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 camps 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 camps 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 Camps
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 Camps
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.
