Read Original Version (CLB5+) You are reading the Simple Version (CLB3-4) A summer camp is a place with programs for kids and teenagers. These programs are watched over by adults. They can be as short as half a day or last for many weeks. Traditional camps offer activities outside, sports, crafts, and exploring nature. On the other hand, specialty camps concentrate on teaching one or more skills. These skills can be music, art, dance, sports, or school subjects. The camps can also have a theme. Some examples are church camps, camps for losing weight and living healthy, or camps for helping young people become leaders. A summer camp is a good choice if you don’t want your kids using the computer all summer at home. Many camps let them be outside in nature. They can join activities that help them learn new skills or be active. Some camps are indoors. They have programs that teach or help kids be creative. These camps follow strong rules to keep your kids safe and healthy. Your church, your child’s school, or the local YMCA-YWCA often have summer programs. You can also look at agencies that help newcomers for free kids’ programs. They can also help you find programs close to you.
