John Mayer once said "A little bit of summer is what the whole year is about." Making the most of the summer months is so important for children. Through summer camp programs, children are introduced to a new community of people to engage in a fun way. Camps help children grow. Teamwork, self-esteem, and friendships are made and strengthened. There are so many options. This blog post provides a listing of day camps, resident camps, and specialized programs in the Boston area.
