Discuss with your child how they would like to spend their summer. Perhaps their chances for scholarships and the ability to be seen by college coaches would enhance their possibility of attending college for less money.
Some kids need to work and do not have time for these types of camps.
Perhaps a day camp could be found closer to home. They could still upgrade their skills and make new friends.
