As the old saying goes, children are our future. It’s a simple notion: as we get older, kids grow up and they become a part of the adult world, taking on whatever corner of the professional world they land in. But, while they’re still young and figuring things out, nurturing their interests is exactly how they figure out what it is they want to do. A great way to do that is at a summer camp! There are many different kinds of summer camp, so whether your kid is into science or art, sports or video games, there’s a camp in metro Detroit that can help foster the natural interests your child already has.
The Artist
