[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any thoughts on how to handle summer camps with reduced hours?  Both parents are Feds making it work during the school year with beforecare and aftercare.[/quote]

I’d like to know this too! My kids are both elementary but too old for the daycare camps that they have at places like Kindercare. The regular camps like the county, Girl Scout, ballet camps all run at most 9-4.

What do people do for middle schoolers? I never went to day camps after elementary school and just associate them with little kids.

Our current plan is to send our kids off for the summer. 4 weeks one set of grandparents and 4 weeks the other side. Kind of sad about that but we aren’t sure either of us will have jobs and can’t spend 10k if there’s a good chance we will be home. We need to save money for being laid off. [/quote]

Man I wish we could do this but my FIL is too old and my parents don't have the bandwidth. They keep really busy and don't have the attention span to hang with the kids for more than 2 hours at a time. My mom actually sent us links to 9-3 PM day camps near them this summer, saying my spouse could drive the kids hundreds of miles to go to camps with limited hours there, while I stayed here to work in person. I had to tell her that doesn't help, there are day camps with limited hours here too....[/quote]

But couldn’t your mom drop off and pick up the kids at the limited hours camps near her?[/quote]

8 years old is age legally kid can be home alone and walk home from bus. [/quote]
