Some counties encourage 4-H members to join Clover Kids earlier than that age. Scouts and 4-H are both programs that a child can start with while little and keep going until graduation, learning and developing many skills along the way. Museums, art schools, historic sites and botanical gardens sometimes have Winter Camp, Spring Break Camp, and Summer Camp programs. The latter may be intended for adults, but a child interested in the subject is sometimes welcome. More inexpensive summer camps may be located through insurance company programs or service clubs.
Some communities have drama clubs for children.
Children who excel in the performing arts may be kept very busy. Those who don't get picked during auditions will have to look elsewhere. In larger cities, drama clubs are everywhere - in colleges, private schools, parks programs and with ethnic, religious and museum programs. There are also companies that put on plays without exclusion, but there is probably a charge for the child to participate. Entire families can participate in drama by joining a living history program.
