↘ What to look for
The smaller the niche, the more the instructor matters — ask who's running it and what they do the other 50 weeks of the year. Watch for camps that brand themselves around a hot topic (coding, podcasting, robotics) but staff with general-purpose summer counselors. The right specialty week leaves the kid with a real artifact (a film, a recipe book, a podcast episode) — not a participation certificate.
