FROM THE EDITOR
Camps hold such a pivotal place in children ’ s lives . Kids can learn an instrument , a language , archery , swimming and communication skills , and they can gain valuable friendships . As hard as it is to let them go , camp can provide a fantastic experience for your children .
In this issue , we explore how to choose a camp . We give you guidance on questions to ask a camp before sending your child away for a week or more . We also have a great article on how to build confidence in kids . Be sure to check out the book nook with books on camps and the health corner for great information on summer safety .
Our camp listing is under directories on our website . Check it out for options for your child .
