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.
