So we put together our camp schedule (7 year old, 2 WOH parents). I didn't put together until right now, are we about to shell out $2k right now as we register? Do camps take the full payment upfront?
We'll be doing a few weeks at several places, so it's not like we're enrolling him at one spot for the summer. |

| Some do some do t. I've always gotten a discount for early payment so I use that option. |

| For next year...consider FSA if you have it. I put money away all year and then when it comes time to pay for camp, the money is just there. |

| Depends. We did a few weeks at Calleva last year, there was a deposit up front and the rest due in April I think.... |

It shouldn't be. IRS regs for dependent care require the child actually complete the care before you can get reimbursed. I get all my money back in September, after camp is over. |

I don't see any that we're looking at have an early payment discount, Rockville, Sportsplex, karate, MoCo. am I missing something?
Our FSA is used with day care. |

| Are we supposed to put summer camp down when we fill out our taxes? I put before/after care down but I don't know about summer camp. |

My kids are also in after care which I just pay monthly. So the reimbursement that I get is really for the after care that has already been paid for and completed. But since I can pay after care monthly, this is just an easier way for me to budget. |

| You can consider day camp child care as long as your child is less than 13 and it allows both spouses to work. Sleep over camp is excluded. |
