Camps are designed to be fun, so if your child has an interest...let them try it. Try not to filter the topics for them. Surprisingly, many parents still assume that science camps are for boys. And yet Mad Science camp topics are enjoyed by both girls and boys equally, every year. It is a good idea to find out the camp's "drop out" policy. Mad Science allows a child to drop out - without penalty - after the first day, if they were truly unhappy with their experience.
