7 Unforgettable Sleepaway Camp Experiences for Kids

"If your kid’s idea of summer fun is turning over rocks and peeking out through telescopes in outdoor “classrooms” alongside scientists and explorers, this is the camp for them. Teens choose between a Land & Sea program (including time spent at the world’s most active volcano) or the Air & Space track (where the fun includes building a rocket) for the weeklong experience. But it’s not all brain work: Campers hike, swim, and explore the island as well. Home base is Pahala Plantation Cottages, where campers from around the world are grouped together in homes that are only a five-minute walk from the main learning locations."
