9yo loved CTY camp, also Levine School of Music summer camp

Some of the pools have great camps -- ask friends who belong, you need to go with a member. Heard CCRA and Palisades both rock.

We used Camp Sonshine last year and DD loved it. With the bus fees though it's a pricier option so I"m interested in hearing from those that used MoCo camps last year (eastern county side of MoCo). We are looking for a few to supplement some of the weeks with county camps ideally and then do Sonshine again for the rest.

I have signed up for Sidwell summer for my twins already. They enjoyed it last year - and with the early bird and sibling discount it is relatively cheap for a full day! $280/week for full day.

PP: you got more than $100 off for each child? i see on the rates pages that full day camp is $395 per week.

Terrible experience at sidwell for two years in a row.
Sport instructions were terrible and we had unreported head injury.

Any experiences with DC DPR camps. Specifically for 3 year olds.

Yes. Some are good. The ones through the vendors, like mad science, are just like the original ones. Others are not. Had a bad experience through Coach Doug. But generally they are very good. A really good value too.

Do you recall any that were particularly good?

Does anyone know of a useful camp directory? I'm looking for full day camps in DC.
