[quote=Anonymous]We were able to average about $400 a week per camp, include before/aftercare (DC camps).  To cut costs some, we did take a vacation week, a couple of grandparent weeks, etc.

One week I arranged to work remotely for the week.  This allowed us to forgo before/aftercare.  I am hoping to be able to do 2 weeks like that next summer. Before and Aftercare can seriously double the cost of a camp. Even the more affordable options.

Parks and Rec camps didn't work for us because of location and/or filling up quickly.  The locations we needed filled up immediately. And I tried to register the second it opened up.

We also found it very difficult to find camps for 3-4 year olds.

One other tip.  My parents still work and are unable to take the kids for a week without taking their own vacation.  We found a camp for my son by my parents that was $50 for the whole week.. seriously.  It was a great camp, and it allowed my parents to still work full time while he was there.  They actually enjoyed it more because they did not feel like they had to entertain him as much and they got a break from the young child routine.[/quote]
