What about the teenagers?

[mctmom]

I am curious if there is anything for teens. I am specifically looking for something that could help my son gain some skills in effective study habits and test taking. Any ideas?

As far as study habits and test taking are concerned, I haven't seen any summer camps, but have you taken a look at Learning Rx (www.learningrx.com (http://www.learningrx.com)) and/or Sylvan Learning (www.sylvanlearning.com (http://www.sylvanlearning.com))? They both have programs that help kids, including teenagers, build their skills in these areas.

Many of the camps listed in this forum have classes or programs for teenagers up to 12th grade. If there is anything else for which you are specifically searching (e.g., a particular sport, art, theatre, etc.), please let me know, and I'll be glad to see what I can find that might be helpful.

Also, I wil keep adding camps to this forum as I find them, and I hope others will post camps they know about, too. So, please keep checking back!

Good luck, mctmom!

The Reading Program helps with study skills and comprehension. They hold it at Creighton, and I think this year there are classes at St. Robert's (120th & Pacific) and at another school farther west.

JRX - thank you for the info! It is exactly what I am looking for.

If you are looking for art camps - Joslyn has ones for teenagers during the summer - it looks like they run for the week from 1-4pm
