Day Camps Arenâ??t Just for Little Kids Anymore
A common thought among parents is that day camps are for â??little kidsâ? while overnight (or sleepaway) camps are for older ones. That may have been true in the past, but nowadays, nothing could be further from the truth.
Day camps, where kids spend the day at camp and then return home each afternoon, have grown by over 90% in the last 10 years. Day camps have traditionally carried the label of appealing to young children, but that reputation is no longer valid as day camps now offer a myriad of camp activities designed to appeal to older kids.
What kinds of day camps are available for older kids and teens? You name it! A recent search of â??day campsâ? on Google returned nearly 20 million results!
Thatâ??s 20 million!
Does your child want to learn to surf? Try a surfing day camp. There is one in Los Angeles, California called Aloha Beach Camp that specializes in surfing and aquatic sports activities for older kids. Itâ??s called the Aloha Beach Camp High Action Camp program. If your child is under 8 years old, they are too young to attend the camp!
Is your son or daughter an aspiring chef? Why not send them to a cooking day camp? Just go online and type in â??cooking camps for older children.â? When we did that, we found one that specializes in cooking camp activities for 10 to 13 year old boys and girls!
It doesnâ??t matter if your kids are young or old â?? there is a day camp program designed just for them. And even if they are among the older set, they will surely find lots of other kids their same at camp and make lifelong friendships with them.
Thatâ??s what day camp is all about!
