During the summer period, most wealthy and affluent families took all excuses to escape from the hot and harsh summer weather with their kids to the cool countryside. They were all agreed that the idea of learning year-round was not ideal for kids since the brain is a muscle which needed to be rested. As time went by, summer holiday became a norm and fully instituted with various districts cutting out about 60 days off the school year calendar to accommodate this newly conceived summer break. Gradually, summer holidays became a sort of business for business folks who took advantage of this summer break to turn it into a business industry and venture.

I got the chance to travel around the States for 30 days after with all my fellow co-workers. It felt like my summer was over in the blink of an eye but it is something that I would recommend to anyone looking to be more than a tourist and hoping to gain a truly authentic experience in America. Camp gives you the opportunity to be a child again and have more fun then you ever imagined. Make all your friends jealous and go have your own summer of a lifetime.
