Great getaways<br />
For kids, summer camps beckon<br />
By JESSICA KEATING<br />
Summer is just around the corner.<br />
And while youngsters may be dreaming of long hours in front of the television, video<br />
games and days at the local mall, the season also is a great time for children to advance<br />
their skills or discover a new passion.<br />
A number of local day and resident camps offer programs tailored to children with an interest<br />
in the arts, science, sports and more. Looking for something different? Here are a few ideas:<br />
Astrocamp<br />

exploration get the hands-on treatment at this<br />
resident camp in Idyllwild. Camps are suited to<br />
children aged 8 to 16 who want to take their love<br />
of science beyond the classroom setting.<br />
