Kids can explore their creativity in so many ways at camp, from movie-making to painting and sculpting, acting, music, dance, and even combine art and science.
If your child is a visual artist, you might consider a camp that specializes in programs for painting, sculpting, drawing, and even specific themed camps for mask-making, filmmaking, cartooning, and more.
There are drama, dance, and even comedy camps for kids in the city. Get your kids giggling and creating with camps that improve self-confidence and stage presence, and keep their brains active without them realizing it, with improv and comedy games.

Sports Camps
Whether it’s basketball, soccer, gymnastics, or even aerial acrobatics that gets your child going, you can find a camp for it. Multi-sport programs allow kids to explore multiple activities.
You might go with a camp that teaches circus and trampoline skills, where kids learn twists and flips and bounce to their heart’s content.
If your child is a specialist, you could go with a tennis camp or another camp that hones in on a specific sport. Can’t decide which sport to focus on? You don’t have to. Some multi-sport camps combine many different sports each day, some with “down time” doing crafts and music or other types of play.
Some sports camps are focused on skills-building in two or three sports.

Education and Nature Camps
An educational camp during a break from school? You bet! These camps are far removed from sitting in a classroom and are anything but boring. Open up new possibilities for your child with these exciting progams that clue kids in to the most fun and interesting aspects of science, math, technology, and the natural world.
This isn’t classroom science! At science camps, kids construct rockets and robots, learn how to use spy equipment and forensic tools from crime scene labs or make paper, build geodesic domes, and learn about roller-coaster physics.
Year-round nature camps teach kids about ecology and their environement through snowshoeing (weather-permitting), forest exploration and orienteering, and by tracking animals and discovering edible plants, along with hikes and outdoor play.
