Anyone putting their kids in summer camps?
What are their ages, gender, and what kind of camp? Is the cost killing you too???

Luckily our DCP has summer camp and its only an extra $500 total for both kids in addition to regular tuition
I looked at day camps for once DS is in school and they are $400 a week!!!!!
ETA: and that is for 9am-3pm so then I would have to pay $$ for before and after care - oy!
No idea what I will do since we both WOTH!!

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.

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.

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.
He's doing it with his best friend so he would have a blast!

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!

Our daycare is year round.

@locavore_mama: I was thinking more about older (school aged) kids. Too old for daycare.

She is 4 and doing camp at the Y. The cost is in the thousands, but comparable to her regular school anyway.

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.

I can't really afford it. But I know I want to be able to get D in a science camp one day.

@Dandelion: you should check into LEGO camps. They sound so cool! Promoting STEM skills and all that stuff
My LO is too young of course but I'd love to send him in a few years!
-
@cmomma17: your LO is old enough for that???
When they're school aged I plan to put them in the Y and a Waldorf Summer camp.
-
@locavore_mama: I have two stepchildren aged 12 and 8 who live with us most of the summer
-
@cmomma17: ah OK, I didn't realize they spent summers with you uo!
I've heard great things about the Y, JCC Jewish community center if you have one near you and your local town too!
My LO is too young of course but I'd love to send him in a few years!
