What are summer programs?

These programs can focus on academics, arts, sports, leadership, or other areas of interest, and are designed for children, teenagers, or even college students. They provide opportunities for skill development, social interaction, and personal growth in a structured environment. Many summer programs are offered by schools, community organizations, universities, or private companies.
