Many parents are still faced with planning for their child’s summer. If you are one of those parents, you need to know the start of summer camp season is about 100 days away. If your child is reluctant to consider an overnight summer program, here are some new and different ideas to tempt them.

While traditional camps never go out of style, for the students who want something different…

Your child who loves:

• STEM could go to camp and focus on building and launching rockets, study planets and learn about our night sky and mythology, or construct a huge structure in the ultimate maker lab.
• ARTS could learn to blow glass, make candles and jewelry, or be in a musical or drama performance.
• LITERATURE could go to a camp on a college campus in the U.S. or abroad and focus on all things related to philosophy, great books, and big ideas.
• MEDICINE and PUBLIC HEALTH could learn firsthand if this is a career they want to pursue with hands-on experience in clinics and community health centers.
• COOKING could go to Italy to focus on the Farm to Table movement and learn to make cheese and olive oil with other food lovers.
• SPORTS could go to a short-session camp on a boarding school campus to improve skills in a specific sport or learn a new one.

100 days will go quickly. Now is the time to plan for summer 2024!
