Summer is almost here and the kids will soon be out of school in New York City. As a mother of a teen, I have to say that it seems as if programs for teens and tweens have been hit the hardest in this economy. They are either locked out of good summer jobs because of the market or from summer camp programs because of the cut-off age! Thankfully, I was able to find a program for my son; however, if you are still looking I received the below information from a very good friend. I copied and pasted the info below. Hopefully some of you will be able to take advantage of it!
