Camp
In Florida, there are many options for sleepaway camps or just short day-long camps for students to attend. One camp for ages 14-21 is the CEO’s Spring Break Career Camp. This allows teenagers to learn more about resume writing, being interviewed, and much more in the job application process, and it includes free enrollment. If you are looking to have a more relaxed break, there are many different camp options all around Florida. SHS junior Prisni Nawala said “ I went to a camp this week and I had so much fun! It was Camp Ryla, and we did so many fun things and I had such a good time with my friends. We went ziplining, and canoeing, and did so many other outdoor things. It was nice to finally get outside and out of school with them too. I hope I can go to more camps in the future because that was awesome!”
