[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of camps have already opened by that point and people book camps in January.

This was such a boneheaded move by MCPS.[/quote]

SOME people book camps in January.  I don't have data on this, but I would guess that the fraction of MCPS parents who book summer camps in January is low.  Some people don't seem to realize that not all MCPS kids can afford sleepaway camp, or even half-day camp.[/quote]

Do you have elementary aged kids?  The sign up dates for these things keep getting earlier and earlier-- not just for fancy camps, for pretty much all of them.  Especially if you want to get your kids into a cheaper camp with limited spots, you need to book in December or January.  That said, lots of the cheaper camps are also refundable, so the more price-sensitive families may cancel them for that week and send their kids so they don't have to pay. [/quote]

Are you in the DMV area?  There are so many options.  If you MUST send your kid to the sleepaway camp of your forefathers, I get it-- you do it early, but that's not most of MCPS.    And some of the $$$$ camps like Calleva and Valley Mill book up fast, and again, that's not most students at MCPS.

I've signed my kids up for some camps in January and some camps in May for weeks, like the end of June where plans are uncertain and I've never had an issue finding them something good, there's always sports camps, camps at the private schools or some of the less popular county camps available.[/quote]
