[quote=Anonymous]My kids are 6, 8, and 10.

I start a spreadsheet right around now for every camp I’m considering and put in weeks, cost, and if they have before/after care, registration opens, etc.

Then I have another spreadsheet with each week of the summer and start filling in camps. I have a first choice and second choice for each week.

I have found that my kids don’t like trying a new camp each week - so I don’t sign them up for less than 2 weeks at any camp. I also pick camps with multiple options at the same location so I don’t have to manage multiple pickups/drop offs.

Internet search and asking around is the best way to find camps - there are many, many camps in this area, so there isn’t really a single place to learn about them. And even then, it might not be a good fit for your kids - there have been three camps which were absolutely not the right for for my kids, and we just didn’t repeat those again. And one camp has been such a huge hit that my kids want to do it all summer (but I want them to branch out a bit, so I usually sign them up for at least 3 different camps). [/quote]
