How much do you spend on camp?

Per week
and how old is your child?

We're averaging $360/week per kid - 10 and 11 year olds. But there is a lot of variation -- most expensive camp is $900/week, cheapest is $220.

Too much! For a 7 and 9 year old, about $350 a week for day camp- but my daughter is also trying out 3 weeks of sleepaway camp and the price makes me cry!

Wow! What do you get for $900 a week?

Our expense worked out to just over $360/week, thanks to being able to get into one camp that was cheaper for the two weeks, and another two-week camp that only cost $306/week including extended day. Other camps cost as much as $480/week once extended day and registration fees were included. We're in North Arlington.

With extended care on both ends of the day probably about $360 - $400 per week. It is crazy but both DH and I work full time and the kids like going to camp.

Sleep-awau camp

I snuck away 320 per week per kid (i have 3!) from my bonus in the fall. It will still be short about 50 bucks a week per kid. We only do 6 weeks of camp. I take off 2 weeks and DH takes off 1. I priced out a summer sitter and it would of been cheaper but my kids honestly love camp. We had a sit down and voted and all three of them wanted camp.

This will be our first summer of camp for my older child. I enrolled him in a few weeks at the rec center for a little less than $300 per week. I am also looking into a few weeks at private schools in our area that will cost around $400 per week.

YMCA camps for about $200/week for 6 weeks each. Three weeks each at grandma's beach house, week of sleep away camp each ($750 each) and a week of family vacation (who knows).

6K

$11,200 K for 2 kids all summer, so average of 560 per week. They are both going to sleep away camp, which drives up the cost, but the remaining weeks are 300-500, per week, per kid including before/aftercare. Its insane.

My kids are 8 and 11. Camp is $4200 per kid for seven weeks - they'll be staying with friends for the summer and going to performing arts day camp.

We could never afford most of these prices. the past two years we've used DC parks and rec little explorer camps at $55 a week ($110 for a two week session).

this year we're splurging and sending our kids to a camp run by their charter school which works out at about $350 a week for both kids (with a sibling discount) -- so $175 per kid. Kids are 6 and 4.

Have 2 kids and paying $200/week per kid through Lifetime Fitness (have a discount for early registration.) This is for 8a-6p. Kids have been going for a few years and love it. We need 11 weeks of camp - so about $4400.
