"I don't want to go back to camp!"
insisted Carly, a seventh grader. "The kids have changed and the activities are boring.” But I'm too old to switch to a new place." Her parents were torn. They didn't want to force Carly into a situation she wouldn't enjoy, but they believed some summer time away was good for her development. (It was also good for their marriage!) They were considering a teen tour, but were worried that Carly might still be too young for that option.

We Get to Know You
After a meeting with Carly and her family, Everything Summer established that Carly might, in fact, be too young for a teen tour. She enjoyed many of the aspects of camp.  She had simply "outgrown" the camp she had been attending since elementary school.

We Help You Choose
Because Everything Summer visits many camps each year, we know exactly which ones are very accepting of adolescents "in transition." We recommended several camps to Carly's family.

We Provide Meaningful Summers
Carly discovered when she got to camp that she was not the only "new girl."  In fact, some girls her age were attending camp for the first time.  The change was refreshing and Carly had a great summer.  (Her parents did too!)
