When summer camps are offered at schools, the familiar environment breaks through barriers and kids are quick to try new experiences as there is something really fun about having their school set up a little bit differently for these experiences. Science labs might now become as mad scientists experience for the week and the gymnasium might be a place to learn the basics to gymnastics, dance, or maybe even offer a fun beach experience! Within each of these camps themes, the advantages to signing up your kiddos for camps held in their schools or even a new one to your family, is they often have access to superior facilities and resources as they are already set up to cover every learning experience for kids – from classrooms to gyms and sometimes even fancy kitchens too!
