Does your child have a special hobby or interest they want to develop further? If so they would probably love the opportunity to spend time pursuing it. Social kids will enjoy the interaction of large structured secondary school holiday programs while quieter or shy kids might be better off involving themselves in small camps or even just indulging their interests through fun family activities.

Is your child aged 12-18 and eager to start their holiday camp? Make sure you check with the organisers of the program if there is anything they need to take with them. For outdoor activities don't forget appropriate footwear, sunscreen and a hat. Any messy activities for kids might require a change of clothes.
