They sound so cool! Promoting STEM skills and all that stuff :silly: My LO is too young of course but I'd love to send him in a few years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1655274 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:15:00 +0000 Dandelion 1655274@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't really afford it. But I know I want to be able to get D in a science camp one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1655256 Fri, 23 May 2014 13:10:03 +0000 Pancakes 1655256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD's preschool offers 3 weeks of summer camp immediately following the end of the school year (since she's just 3, the camp is 3 days a week 9-12:30) and then we have signed her up for 2 more weeks of camp a little later in the summer at another area preschool (she will go 5 days a week at the other camp). None of the camps are cheap, but since I'm taking 2 classes and I'm pregnant, it will really be good for all of us for her to be busy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654798 Fri, 23 May 2014 10:30:37 +0000 Andrea 1654798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is 4 and doing camp at the Y. The cost is in the thousands, but comparable to her regular school anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654556 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:14:48 +0000 cmomma17 1654556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: I was thinking more about older (school aged) kids. Too old for daycare. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654534 Fri, 23 May 2014 09:10:42 +0000 regberadaisy 1654534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare is year round. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654455 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:51:08 +0000 cmomma17 1654455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My stepkids are 12 and 8. SS will do a week of soccer camp, and SD will do a week art camp at a pottery studio. If we can swing it, there is a cooking camp they could do together (just a Tues, Wed, Thurs, 10-1230) that sounds super fun! We need to keep them busy while they are here visiting us, since DH and I can't take two months off of work and MIL needs a break occasionally! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654410 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:39:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1654410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We enrolled Charlie in a camp for 5 weeks. It is with the after school program that he is already enrolled in, but this is full day (8-4). He is 4 1/2 and they accept kids from 3 1/2. They do one day at the pool, one day at the beach, one day playing sports at the park, and various other activities like museums.</p> <p>He's doing it with his best friend so he would have a blast! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654405 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:38:44 +0000 T-Mom 1654405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD's school has a summer camp, so she will be doing that this summer. They take the kids to gymnastics , field trips, etc so she will be busy. I did research other camps but it was much easier to keep her in one place than to piece together a bunch of camps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654391 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:34:16 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1654391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J isn't old enough, but as long as he wants to do it I would love to give him the opportunity. I looked into the YMCA camps but yikes, they're a couple thousand dollars for just a week or two. There is another local camp my brother and his friends went to and loved that is cheaper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654379 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:31:08 +0000 Mamaof2 1654379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Luckily our DCP has summer camp and its only an extra $500 total for both kids in addition to regular tuition </p> <p>I looked at day camps for once DS is in school and they are $400 a week!!!!! :shocked: </p> <p>ETA: and that is for 9am-3pm so then I would have to pay $$ for before and after care - oy!</p> <p>No idea what I will do since we both WOTH!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/summer-camps#post-1654363 Fri, 23 May 2014 08:25:50 +0000 cmomma17 1654363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone putting their kids in summer camps?<br /> What are their ages, gender, and what kind of camp? Is the cost killing you too??? :shocked: :sad: </p>
