In an earlier column I described the national physical activity guidelines for youth. In brief, the guidelines recommend 60 minutes of physical activity each day for children and teens.

- Is your child ready for summer camp?
- Updated: April 18, 2012 - 9:02 am

As the rush begins to plan for summer activities, you may find yourself looking into summer camp. You'll find a variety of summer camp options; part or full day; overnight or weekly, multi-activity or activity specific. For school-aged children there are many options and you may benefit from researching all of the opportunities based on the needs of your child. Because children develop at different rates, it is difficult to make a decision based on age or grade. There are extended camp choices available to children age 7 or older, however, you may want to evaluate if your 7 year old is ready to be away from home in an unfamiliar setting with people they don't know.
