[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish!  I seriously panic at the idea of having to find camps and such for the whole summer.  I feel bad for my kid having to shuttle to random places, but I can't afford to not work for the summer and wouldnt be able to request that from my job anyway.[/quote]  But just think about those random weeks off when there are no camp offerings.  I have a friend whose son goes to a year round school and she said that is the toughest part, trying to find something for her kid to do during those random weeks off during the year that are not in the summer.  She said the school does not do a good job of offering any type of out of school programming during those weeks  for parents that need to take advantage of it.[/quote]

Yeah, but if more schools did it, more programs would be offered.  The problem now is that so few are year-round, but if, say, DCPS went year-round, you can bet that the organizations that offer summer camps would offer camps during the school breaks.  [/quote]
