Every summer the sun shines with a promise of ice cream cones, flip flops, swimming pools and... your child's inevitable cries of boredom? It's no surprise to parents that their youngsters' minds are a little less than stimulated during two months of staying up late and watching TV. With homework out of sight and mind, the last thing any child wants to do during summer is contemplate school. During summer vacation it is important to provide your little one with the stimulation that their mind needs. Luckily for kids, there are innumerable camps that cater to their educational, physical and entertainment needs. Summer camps are sure to please both parent and child. With such a large selection of summer camps to choose from you are sure to be successful in finding a camp to suit your child's personality and needs. There are two main divisions of summer camp- day camps and overnight camps. Day camps run during the day and conclude in the afternoon or evening. These are ideal for working parents, or parents who are just not ready to "let go" yet. Overnight camps are just that- a camp at which your child will remain overnight. Day camps and overnight camps branch off into virtually thousands of types of camps. Sports camps are certainly a popular option and are guaranteed to increase activity level and critical thinking skills. Most sports camps focus on one particular sport, such as baseball, basketball or hockey. No matter sport your child is into, you are certain to find camp to meet their needs. For the academically elite an academic camp is likely to be a suitable choice. These camps cater to campers who love to learn in fun and exciting ways. From Archeology to astronomy or marine biology to robotics- rest assured that there is an academic camp for your little one. Children that excel in the arts would probably feel at home in an art camp. Art camps range from music camps, visual art camps, drama camps etc. These camps are sure to foster your child's talent and develop their skills. Special needs camps are also widely available, so that any parent can feel confident in their decision to send their child to camp. Special needs camps are staffed by experienced councilors who are trained to provide your child with the care that they need- while having tons of fun, of course! There are also vast amounts of special interest camps that consist of anything from cooking, yoga, technology and video making, fashion- and everything else your little one's heart could possibly desire.
