Making Decisions about Our Child’s Education

Hello. My name is Mindy Wilkes. My husband and I have three children. Our oldest is a freshman in college, our middle child is a junior in high school, and our youngest is in seventh grade. Making decisions about our children’s schooling have been some of the most important choices we have made. Our three children have different personalities, unique capabilities, and different learning capacities. Two of our children have attended public schools, and one is in a private school. I’m writing this blog so that I can share how we learned about the school choices in our area, how we came to know what they had to offer, and most importantly, how we made the decisions as to what schools our children would attend. I hope you find some useful information here.

Spring may have just started, but summer will be here before you know it, which is why it is time to think about what type of summer camp you want your child to attend. Summer camp is a chance for your child to have fun, explore, and enjoy their summer. It is a chance for them to hang out and build relationships with other kids. There are lots of different styles of summer camp you can send your child to.

1. Academic Summer Camps

The first type of summer camp you can send your child to is an academic summer camp. An academic summer camp doesn't have to be boring; it just means that the focus is more on an academic subject that will be presented to your child in an interactive and fun manner. 

A few examples of different types of academic summer camps include:

  • Robotics

  • Astronomy

  • Debate

  • Foreign language

  • Biology

  • Math

  • Veterinary science

For example, your child will learn how to build a robot at their skill level at the robotics summer camp. This can be a really fun and engaging sump camp. Academic camps teach academic skills in a fun and hands-on manner.

2. Adventure Summer Camps

Another type of summer camp is adventure summer camp. Adventure summer camp is all about having fun and doing things outside that you don't get to do regularly. All kinds of summer camps will get you outside and allow you to have a fun adventure. 

There are many all-purpose adventure summer camps where you can engage in all types of adventures. There are also adventure summer camps that are focused on specific types of adventures, such as:

  • Biking

  • Fishing

  • Survival skills

  • Whitewater rafting

  • Rock climbing

  • Sailing

  • Canoeing

These are just a few kinds of adventure summer camps that you can reroll your child in. Think about the type of outdoor activities your child enjoys or wants to participate in, and find a camp that caters to those activities. 

3. Family Summer Camps

Sometimes, it is great to get away with your entire family! That is what family summer camps are all about. With a family summer camp, you can enjoy a break from the real world with your kids. Just like with any type of camp, there are a variety of different kinds of summer camps. Some focus more on traditional wilderness activities, and others focus on various activities, such as dancing or extreme outdoor adventures. 

The key is to think about what your child enjoys and find a summer camp that will allow your child to enjoy those activities during the summer. Summer camp is all about having fun and building memories that your child will cherish. For more information on a kids' summer camp, contact a professional near you.
