But finding a camp that offers the program you want can be a challenge. Here are my perspectives on the summer camp scene:Camping AssociationsCamping Associations are regional bodies that exist to promote the quality and represent camps in their area. Membership is optional; their members tend to be the traditional camps. There is a trend to more nature-based programming among these camps, and a certain amount is available through many camps, I believe. Camping associations are good sources of information, through which one can access many camps.Alberta Camping Association Canadian Camping Association Science CampsIn Canada, science camps are dominated by indoor lab, technology and computer programs offered by Universities and Science Centres. Only a very few others are out there.
