Programs and camps afford children the opportunity to keep minds sharp during spring break. They're also a way to explore areas of interest that are under-served during the school year. Consider a science camp or a debating camp, for example. They're often put on by outstanding organizations like museums. Kids stay away from video screens, keeping minds and bodies active.

It's increasingly important for parents to give their children an edge when it comes to academics or other pursuits. (Think of indoor soccer camps or other sports camps that are also very popular this time of the year.) During Spring break, kids feel the late winter doldrums. Left to their own devices, they'll likely spend time with passive entertainment. March break day camps offer an ideal way to break things up, encouraging kids to grow and to push themselves, possibly in new directions. Camps like acting camps give kids exciting activities that aren't relegated to extracurricular. And they make a new group of friends.

Here's a closer look at some popular March break programs and activities:

Arts programs for kids, available after school and during holiday breaks, give kids a chance to indulge their artistic side. Overemphasis on left-brain activity is part of our culture, but kids and teens need to develop creativity. Observers trumpet the value of arts programs during school break as a way to encourage personal growth.

Special needs March break programs give parents a respite. Kids and teens also meet others in the community who may be facing similar challenges.

Health and fitness holiday programs are a very positive way of getting kids out of the house during spring break or other off-school time. These day camps and programs offer education in nutrition, and gather kids and teens together who are facing the same challenges. Time at this type of kids' camp can have a lasting positive impact on young lives.

March break day camps are more prevalent, but you'll also find overnight camps listed above. Camp is an ideal way to encourage personal, intellectual and emotional growth during spring break.

Camps listed above are open year-round or offer programs during school breaks.
