Summer Camps for Kids!

Summer Camps for Kids!

Believe it or not, the season for summer camp preparation has begun! And I don't know about you...but after this long winter and all these snow days, I am ready for it.  This year, I do not want my son to go to a stay over camp, so I am trying to find day camps (affordable day camps, mind you).

In my search, I have come across from pretty neat and interesting camps besides your usual sports camps.

Camp Shakespeare: "During this two-week summer camp, young actors dive head first into the world of the greatest playwright in history: William Shakespeare. Under the guidance of theatre professionals, participants unravel his plays with text analysis; transform into Shakespeare’s characters through voice, movement and improvisation work; wage battles against mortal enemies with stage combat; and develop fundamental acting skills using classical theatre techniques. To culminate each session, participants stage a performance for friends and family at the Shakespeare Theatre Company. Join STC for a dynamic and dramatic summer camp experience, perfect for any budding performer or Shakespeare lover.

If you can act Shakespeare, you can act anything."

Mad Science Summer Camp: From the site; "Mad Science camps offer a daily combination of in-class discovery and exploration, outdoor games and physical activities, and hands-on applications of the scientific principles presented.

Your child will be able touch, see, hear, smell and taste what science is really all about.

We use simple, real world science techniques that allow even the youngest of campers to enjoy our learning environment.

Campers create, build and assemble a variety of take-home projects while exploring how science affects the world around us. 

Children have so much fun that they forget they’re learning!"  Click here http://dc.madscience.org/ for more information.

Smithsonian Summer Camp: There’s no more exciting place to spend the summer than at Summer Camp at the Smithsonian, where all kinds of dreams

can come true. Where else can campers blast into space or take center stage, create a masterpiece or invent a fantasy world, or relive history or learn to shape the future of the planet?
