There are so many summer camps, it's important to go online for your local summer camp directories. When I looked on ours (www.DurhamSummerCamps.com), I was surprised to see how many Arts Camps, Sports Camps, Residential Camps, and Specialty Camps that are right in town! The whole camp scene has exploded since I was a kid!
