Summer Camp
It’s a rite of passage — the time and place where memories are made, social skills are built and lessons are learned. This is summer camp, and it’s NOTHING like it was in the old days.
Sure, kids have the tents and cabins, adventures outdoors, stories by the fire and late nights up with friends, but times have changed. There’s more to see, do, and explore than ever before, and technology can play a new and important role in the experience. And that means parents may not have all the information they need to send their kids off on a grand summertime adventure.
So, with that in mind, here is the Parentology Summer Camp section. From traditional sleepaways focusing on everything from science, tech, and nature to even YouTube, we cover all the summer camp tips, tricks, and news you need.
