Is your child too old for summer camp? As the Holiday season winds down and camp enrollment season heats up, many parents with older kids are asking themselves this question.

Here's the problem. Once your child reaches a certain age, they may feel like they've outgrown the traditional summer camp scene. But as their parent, you are well aware your child still needs positive, worthwhile and supervised activities during the summer.

Here's the solution, and it's good news! There are MANY summer camps designed exclusively for older kids and teens (no younger kids allowed!), meaning your child can still enjoy a camp experience doing lots of safe, fun and exciting activities with kids their own age while being supervised by adult staff and camp counselors who are experienced working with older kids.

According to Theresa Torrone, a volunteer for the American Camp Association, when kids know they are attending a camp program designed exclusively for them, they are much more likely to enjoy the camp experience and want to go back the following year.

Where is the best place to find summer camps for teens? For starters, you can ask your friends who have kids the same age as your child where they plan on sending their kids for the summer. Maybe your kids can attend camp together, which could make the camp experience even better!

Another place to look is the Internet. The Web is rich with a host of beneficial camp-related information. One site you might want to visit is Teen Summer Camps.com , a free directory of summer camps and programs for kids and teens everywhere.

Here's another option. Simply Google "summer camps for teens" or "teen summer camps" and see what comes up. You might be pleasantly surprised at all your search result options!

Surely when kids reach a certain age, they want more challenging and exciting activities than what the typical summer camp offers. It's nice to know your older child has so many options available to them. Just because they're older doesn't mean they can't attend camp anymore. To the contrary, many summer camps are designed just for them!
