[quote=Anonymous]Not sure where you live, but most areas have a day camp programs that are inexpensive, or even free — although Covid may have changed that. Start by talking with an administrator at your child’s school. I have worked with many free or low cost summer programs housed in schools or that had bus pickups at local schools.  Check out programs such as YMCA/YWCA, JCC, your community recreation center, churches and other religious institutions, and social service agencies. Scouting programs may even offer sleep away camps for reasonable fees.  As an example, the Children’s Aid Society in NYC offers multiple day camps in urban areas, will bus kids to day camp programs in less urban areas, and will assist kids with scholarships to some sleep away camp programs.

Many churches offer vacation Bible school sessions that are free, and they are often open to all kids — not just to families of church members. Other camp programs offer scholarships.  This will likely be an unpredictable summer, but there are usually a wide variety of options available at minimal cost, particularly if you can be flexible with scheduling and transportation.
