2021 CAMPS & SCHOOLS GUIDE
Keeping kids of all ages engaged this summer
D
id you know 96% of teachers say that each fall, students appear to have forgotten or lost some of the knowledge or skills they learned the previous school year? But don’t worry, the good news is that 89% of parents plan to continue some form of educational activities with their children during the summer. And, 92% of teachers agree that students will be more successful overall if they keep learning during the summer months. Adults often look back fondly on their childhood experiences at summer camp or working on special projects at summer school. Camps and schools can provide the opportunity to form lifelong friendships and discover rewarding hobbies that can enrich campers’ lives for decades to come. Choosing a summer camp or school is no small task, but these pages should help give you direction on what opportunities are available here. The local selection ranges from learning or improving on your dance techniques, self-defense classes to swimming, music and acting lessons. When looking for a camp for kids, families should make the decision together. Kids should be involved in the selection process, as they’re more
likely to have an enjoyable camp experience if they had a say in where they will be spending their summers. However, what is more likely is that your child will let you know what they would like to engage in this summer and beyond. Camps may last as little as one week or up to several weeks, depending on the focus. So, it is important to consider what you and your child are considering. Nonetheless, summer camps and schools give kids a chance to make memories that will last a lifetime. Choosing the right camp is an important decision that parents and kids should make together. (MC)
