Summer camp can be one of the best times for kids each year, where they look forward to the end of school, and getting into a fresh and exciting environment that challenges them in a new way.

Do you remember a summer camp experience from your childhood? Even 20 or 30 years later those memories are often vividly and fondly remembered. At True Gaming, we are aiming for the same kind of experience that will give your child a great summer experience they will remember and tell their friends about.

Dr. Bruce Muchnick, Ed.D., is a licensed psychologist who works extensively with day and resident camps. He advises that, "Summer camp is more than a vacation for children," as it provides opportunites for kids to learn and grow in a new setting.

We hope your child joins us for the True Gaming day camp experience in Fredericton this summer.

While there are many things to consider, here are five pointers on choosing a summer camp, from the National Camp Association:

1. What do you and your child want to gain from the camp experience ? Learn new skills, develop more self confidence, improving proficiency in certain areas, become more independent?
2. What are other expectations of the camp experience?
3. What are the special interests that your child wants to explore?
4. Are there any physical, intellectual, or social limitations that should be considered?
5. What kind of emphasis will your child profit from the most? For example: Is a lot of structure desirable, is social interaction with members of the opposite sex important, or does your child need a place where he or she is encouraged to develop at their own pace?
