[quote=Anonymous]The thing I found the most shocking when my oldest left full time child was how expensive camps were for elementary age kids! The cheapest camps I know of that provide all day care for kids in K-6th are 350 a week (Fairfax Park&Rec basic summer camp) when you add in before and after care. Before/after care is cheaper than daycare though. I pay ~$400/month per child for after school SACC with occasional drop in morning care at a different provider. But the 10 weeks of summer is brutal. We usually take 2 weeks of vacation in the summer, but that still leaves 8 weeks. So child care costs per elementary age kid for us are ~7000/year (10 months of SACC + 8 weeks camp). That's the bare bones camps, nothing fancy. Anything specialized is more. And yes, they eat more, the clothes cost more, the fees at school for things like band and chorus are more, etc. [/quote]
