| In MoCo, any good, safe & fun summer camp for 5-6 years old full day (8am - 5pm) from mid-June to late Aug? I hear YMCA or montgomery county is a hit or miss, but the expensive ones tend to be more better because of the ratio & the instructor. How much is average for week of decent summer camp? I have a budget of maybe max $450/week. Any recommendations? I prefer it is located near Gaithersburg/Rockville area. |
| Camp Sonshine. In northern SS but they have buses. |

At that age, my kids were happy at KAH summer camp, which is one of the cheaper options for full-day coverage. It had a good mix of activities, plus field trips and swimming once a week, and was fun and easy to handle. Here's the list of locations and info: https://www.kidsafterhours.com/summer-camp/summer-camps/day-camp/
A similar option might be the summer camps run by Bar-T, either their cheaper kids camp (held at local schools, similar to KAH), or their "Ranch" or "Mountainside" campuses: https://www.bar-t.com/summer/ |
| YOu are not going to get 8 to 5 at the private school camps for $450/week. The base week is usually around $400-450 from 9 to 3 or 4. |
