If you are not familiar with the Maine Conservation School take the time to check out what great opportunities they have to offer a variety of ages.
During the summer months when the kids need some structure due to being “bored” on their break. Take a look at sending them to this great place. They will meet lots of new friends, have a blast, and learn some great skills based on outdoor activities.
They have a variety of programs ranging from Junior Explorer(ages 8 and 9) to teacher workshops for adults. They are broke up into weeks that focus on such things as conservation camp, primitive skills camps, archery, fishing, water adventure, junior Maine woodsman, and junior Maine guide programs.
Take a look at this school in further detail. Maybe you can fit a week or more in to teach your kid one of these factors of the outdoors that he or she may be interested in.
They have scholarships available for people that need them.
A great place for your kid to spend a week swimming, paddling, hiking, exploring wildlife, archery, ropes courses, fishing, learning survival skills, hunter safety, orienteering, and many more options.
