Who thrives here Ages 7–12

Summer Adventure Kids Camp - Mad Scientist sits in the upper-elementary to middle-school window where specialization starts to mean something.

The right stem fit at this age depends on whether the child wants more autonomy or still wants the safety of a structured rhythm.
