Summer camp can mean new friends, new experiences and giant leaps in independence. Saving those precious memories is an important part of preserving the moment, and children and teens can do that in a variety of ways.

While growing up, hearing someone talk about summer camp conjured up images in my head of camping, swimming, hiking and possibly doing a few crafts. Today, that’s all changed.

For kids, summer can be the most wonderful time of the year, a time where memories — and lifelong friends —are often made.
