Summer Camps for Kids

A roundup of summer camps for children over the Summer Holiday:

Summer Camp Beaumont

Camp Beaumont, located across the sprawling 17 acre estate of Kings College, offers weekly camps for children of all ages.  Children are divided into four specific age groups: 3-4 called Playtime, 5-7 Magic, 8-11 Mania, and 12-16 Teens. Each group has events tailored specifically to the demographic.  Mania has themed days such as roller disco extravaganza day and archery. Playtime activities are kept short to retain attention and rest time is incorporated into the day. Special activities can also be added to every age group, such as riding and motocross, to make your camper’s week extra special.
