During the summer, it can be difficult to keep kids engaged and keep them learning. With the closure of many in-class summer camps, online summer camps and classes have become more popular. These online camps help your child experiment with new hobbies and can help those finding more advanced instruction in preparation of the next school year. For kids in middle school, it is especially important in order to prepare for high school and discover their passions early.
