Summer camp has long been something of a universally-loved activity for children and parents alike. With so many types of workshops and classes available, there is a summer camp that can perfectly suit your child's wants and needs. Read on for three summer camp themes that your child might enjoy!

Bugging Out

What kid doesn't like bugs? Summer camp is an excellent way to get your kids involved in learning more about the natural world around them. Summer camp classes specializing in learning about bugs will teach your child about the life cycles of insects, what they eat and where they live. They will get to see firsthand how these tiny creatures live in their environment and what makes each bug so unique. Activities that might be taught include watching a caterpillar transform into a butterfly, building an ant farm, and observing what foods certain bugs are drawn to! Your child will also learn about what bugs to avoid and the distinct markings that might signal a bug that should be left alone. 

Outdoor Adventures

Summer camp is the perfect place for your child to be as active as they want to be! From running around outdoors to taking dance classes, camp will be a great way for your child to exert some energy as well as stay active. Field days are quite common and can include activities such as potato sack races, tag football, rope climbing, and relay races. Children will have a great opportunity to work as a team as well as compete individually and learn what great sportsmanship looks like. Don't worry, staying hydrated and protected from the sun will be a top priority when it comes to your child's safety. 

The Play's the Thing

If your child loves to sing and dance, a musical theater workshop will perfectly suit their personality. These workshops are great ways for your child to participate with others in a group to turn out a performance to be remembered! Learning choreography and songs will also help improve their memory skills as well as allow for a creative outlet. For children who might be on the shy side, musical theater and the performing arts will be a great way for them to break out of their shells and open up to others. For those who are more extroverted, on the other hand, the ability and encouragement to express their creative side will do wonders for them and prove to be a summer camp experience to remember.
