Second club med

Club Med.

Bring in grandparents to stay with your kid. You go on your own vacation.

I don’t think you are going to find what you want for less than the price of beaches.

While you are gone, that should say.

Put them in camp near where you live now. Hire a sitter to stay at your house and care for them while you are home. If you want a camp during the day and evenings I’m not sure why you’re even taking them with you.

Just bring two nannies so they can switch off

What about skiing and put kid in all day ski school?

Check out the Four Seasons resorts (kids club is complimentary) and Eau Palm Beach Hotel.

If you want to do something local, maybe rent a house in Wintergreen and send child to the day camp at the Tree House.

Sanctuary Resort on Kiawah Island has a summer kids club that runs weekly and has lots of outdoor activities.

Check out Nemacolin resort. Great kids club.

When we went to Sea Island we just hired a local nanny who was a schoolteacher off for the summer. She worked the hours we wanted (afternoons and evenings) and was allowed to take DS to anything on property. For the money and flexibility this is probably ultimately a better deal than trying to find the perfect kids club.

My ideal vacation would be: we have two bedrooms, and there is a drop-off quality kids program for a significant portion of the days- not just an hour or two, but the chunk of morning, 9-12, or all day, 9-3, and even a dinner/ night option such as 5-9. I have been researching, and have found some things, but wanted to see if anyone knows of something I might not have found.

- We don't want cruises, and let's not talk about it further please.
-We don't want big all-inclusives (honestly, Beaches Turks Caicos looks great, but not paying $20k for a week to live in 450 sq feet and no real separate bedroom for kid).
- Kid is 6, and likes almost everything, but would love outdoorsy activities.

In addition to looking at smaller resorts with kids clubs, I am also considering places where I could enroll child in the town/city's regular kids day camps for locals. Foe example, on a previous trip to Key West, I saw local kids doing the same stuff we were doing, but with their school's summer day camp.That's another thing that works for me if it's available in the location.
