Do you have summer activity plans to get your kids out of the house and away from video games?  The Fox 4 parenting expert gives us some ideas on choosing summer camps and programs that will help your kids engage their minds and beat the boredom blues.
   
Questions to Ask Your Child
  • How did your child become interested in a summer program?
  • How does your child feel about staying away from home for extended times?
  • What does your child expect to do at camp?
Questions to Ask the Program
  • What is the camp/program's focus?
  • What is the background/education of the teachers/counselors?
  • What types of programs and activities are offered?
  • Can I tour the program before enrollment?
  • Can my child contact me while at camp?
  • How many kids and what age groups?
