Summer Camps - Already Here!

Can you believe that as soon as winter break is done, parents are already starting to think about summer camps? (The earlier you sign up, the more money you save!)

Summer camps play an important role for elementary-aged children, especially those who are academically drive, by offering a balanced environment where learning and personal growth extend beyond the classroom. For students who often spend the school year focused on academics, camps provide opportunities to develop social skills, independence, and creativity through hands-on activities, collaboration, and play. These experiences help prevent burnout, encourage curiosity in low-pressure settings, and allow children to explore interests—like science, art, or problem-solving—in more experiential and engaging ways. Just as importantly, summer camps foster confidence and resilience as children navigate new challenges, build friendships, and learn to work with peers who share similar interests, supporting well-rounded development that benefits both their academic success and overall well-being.

A great way to find local summer camps is by asking your Facebook parenting groups and PTA parent groups!
