Choosing the right summer day camp for your child.

By Karen Thurm Safran
You'll come across more than twelve thousand summer camps in the United States alone and more in countries like Canada, Russia, France and China. It is stated by the American Camp Association that over ten million children attend summer camps annually.

Besides long summer camps, summer day camps are also becoming increasingly popular with children from all over America. The summer day camps allow your children to be active and enjoy themselves in a supervised manner for a day. This is a great concept for both child and parents alike.

It cannot be gainsaid that children have tendency to play and explore during summer. If you can not afford the overnight camp option for you child, then a summer day camp can be a great alternative.

Many summer day camps are divided into three groups. The kindergarten group, grades 1-2, and grades 3 to 5. This breakdown allows for a logical grouping and also gives the kindergarten an option of part day schedules if needed.

All summer day camps are designed to be a great learning experience for the children, but also provide a huge amount of enjoyment and fun. The programs are designed to be challenging and stimulating and many rely on being practical with a real-life application provided. Such examples include building model bridges and understanding some of the underlying concepts.

A range of subject matters such as science, art and the outdoors are included into the best one-day programs. Since the outdoor aspect is considered to be a traditional part of the summer camp experience it shouldn't be neglected in any summer time program.

If you are looking to introduce your child to more technological subjects then you also have the option of a tech camp. A tech camp is essentially a way to introduce new technology and the application of it into a child's life. They can learn about computers, gadgets, computer games and many other associated areas.
