2008 Summer Day Camps Guide
Amanda Borozinski, Sentinel Staff

Read the guide

This year the Monadnock Region boasts an array of day camp activities for children from 3-1/2 to 18 years old.

There are sports camps where children can perfect a three-point fadeaway shot or a back flip off a balance beam. There are dance, comic-drawing, and movement camps where children can develop their creative flare. There are day camps and half-day camps that specialize in the traditional camp experience – hiking, singing songs, orienteering, archery, horseback riding and canoeing. There are even unique camps that teach children about ecology and the environment, careers in healthcare or animal advocacy.

There is a camp for just about every child, and best of all, according to Peter Scales, author/educator at The Search Institute (a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “provide leadership, knowledge, and resources to promote healthy children, youth, and communities”), there are camps with activities children aren’t yet aware they will enjoy. Camps, he said, allow children to “explore talents, interests and values.”

Day camp is the perfect opportunity for children to try new things and then come home each night and share the adventure with their parents.
