Summer Camp

Many children enjoy attending some type of summer-camp program, and many working parents are in need of child care during the summer months. Summer camps give children the opportunity to further develop their talents, experience new activities, and learn new skills. Summer camps run in sessions, and can be full-day or part-day schedules. Summer camps serve children aged 5 years to 15 years of age. Camps are licensed by individual states, and there is a director and a trained staff of counselors and assistants. Some camps specialize in certain areas, such as the arts, sports, or science.
