[quote=Anonymous]A lot of specialty camps really don't impart much in the way of skills, OP. My DD goes to an art camp and a dance camp, but she gets far more out of her regular art classes at school and the weekly dance classes she takes during the week. It's really just regular summer camp with a "theme" which your camp probably does too, with different themes each week.

Like at dance camp, they still do arts and crafts but they will be dance themed, and each day the take a dance class. Otherwise it's basically like all other camps. Same with art camp, just with a bit more emphasis on arts and crafts and they will put a bit more energy into producing projects to take home at the end of the week.

If your kid likes his camp, I don't think you are missing out on anything with not doing speciality camps. If he was really into a sport like soccer or swimming, I could see how that experience could deepen those skill sets. But otherwise, not a big deal and sounds like you've solved summer. Kudos![/quote]
