Does anyone know of a useful camp directory? I'm looking for full day camps in DC.

Yes. Some are good. The ones through the vendors, like mad science, are just like the original ones. Others are not. Had a bad experience through Coach Doug. But generally they are very good. A really good value too.

Do you recall any that were particularly good?

Two happy summers at camp sonshine! Reasonable rates. Organized. Also enjoyed Kidsco camp.

Any experiences with DC DPR camps. Specifically for 3 year olds.

Terrible experience at sidwell for two years in a row.
Sport instructions were terrible and we had unreported head injury.

PP: you got more than $100 off for each child? i see on the rates pages that full day camp is $395 per week.

We used Camp Sonshine last year and DD loved it. With the bus fees though it's a pricier option so I"m interested in hearing from those that used MoCo camps last year (eastern county side of MoCo). We are looking for a few to supplement some of the weeks with county camps ideally and then do Sonshine again for the rest.

Today is 1/14/2014 - bumping for anyone looking for feedback on camps for upcoming summer.

Some of the pools have great camps -- ask friends who belong, you need to go with a member. Heard CCRA and Palisades both rock.

9yo loved CTY camp, also Levine School of Music summer camp

My 6 y/o DD's rank of this year summer camps:
1. Theatre on Ice in Wheaton Ice Rink
2. Camp Calleva
3. Dinosaur Rock! in Brookside Nature Center
4. PMDI dance camp in Silver Spring
5. Camp Audubon in Woodend Sanctuary, Chevy Chase
6. Camp Sitar (art)
