Summer Camps, vacations in Miami

As summer approaches, children of all ages get anxious because they are about to start 10 weeks of joy and fun in the sun. For parents the situation is different, the first problem is, where did you send my children? In Miami there are several summer camps that are good options. However, to choose the best option, each parent must consider several aspects: the safety of the camp, the type of person who will be in charge of their children, the curriculum of the institution, the quality of food and snacks, the first aid training of those in charge and the ability to respond to emergencies. The next thing to consider are the activities that will be available to your children. Summer camps in Miami have quite a few activities. Some specialize in a specific sport or educational concept. The summer camps available in Miami generally include some of the following activities:

• Activities and excursions.
• Sports programs with a focus on a specific sport, which teach the basics of the sport and some tricks.
• Art and culture with activities related to crafts, theater, music, audiovisual arts and live performances.
• Natural science with activities for children to explore natural life on land and underwater.
• Aquatic programs where children are taught to swim, basic first aid and how to act in case of emergency in the water.

All camps aim to encourage children to learn while having fun outdoors, enjoying the Miami weather.
