Learn more about Summer Programs!
Summer programs are a great opportunity for your child to improve their teamwork, critical thinking skills, stay active and more!
To help families, the BOOST Network has developed a Summer Program Guide as part of the Spring into Summer campaign, that provides parents and guardians with important information on available summer programs in the Paso del Norte region.
1.- What is the best age to go to summer camp?
​
The ideal age for attending summer camps varies depending on the child's stage of development and interests.
For preschoolers and early elementary school children (ages 3 to 6), camps focused on creative arts, nature exploration, and play-based learning are ideal.
Elementary school children (ages 6 to 11) can enjoy a wide range of activities, from sports to arts and sciences.
Middle schoolers (ages 11 to 13) can benefit from specialized camps that match their hobbies.
High schoolers (ages 14 to 18) can explore academic, career-focused, or adventure camps.
Ultimately, the best age depends on the child's interests and goals, as well as choosing a reputable and safe camp.
