North Carolina Summer Camps



School is almost out which means it's time to start looking for great summer camps for kids. With so many options, where do you start? That's where Carolina Summer Camps comes to the rescue! Their website covers six major cities in North Carolina with a separate page to provide available camps and details for each city. My favorite part is that the options are categorized by Arts Camps, Sports Camps, Church Camps, Academic Camps, and Specialty Camps so you can find exactly what you or your child is looking for! Click here for an extensive list of camps available in Wilmington. I grew up going to Camp Tekoa for 5 years and loved every bit of it. Do you or your children have a favorite camp?
