Happy Spring!
What does the advent of spring mean when you are a parent? It means it is time to start thinking about summer camps, unless you are one of those families that have the summer planned out of necessity or as part of the rampant overachievement of the times.

Summer camps!!!! I flip flop every day between throwing my hands up and wanting to NOT schedule the summer and the acid fear that comes with the thought of three kids home every day all summer long!! I’m getting my scheduling book out!
Great giveaway!
The opportunity camp offers young campers is great. New friends, new adventures, and new things to learn! And camp songs, everyone loves a good camp song!
i’d love for them to experience the great outdoors
I never went to camp so I think it would be fun for them to experience
I never went to summer camp but I would like my child to someday be able to experience the fun, crafts, swimming, friends, etc.
I loved meeting new friends at summer camp — I can’t wait to send my kids to experience that too!
It will be a couple of years before my daughter will be able to go to summer camp. I think she would enjoy spending time with other kids, learn new adventures and have a lot of fun.
We have had wonderful experiences with summer camp! Our children have only ever been to one, the same one every summer, but it is awesome. They go to our Tribe’s Culture summer camp. They spend a week learning all about Native American culture. They get to fish, make crafts, learn singing and dancing, and language too!
I would like my kids to attend summer camp to make new friends, learn new skills, and become more independent!
I would love for my son to experience those summer friendships and all that time outdoors!
I took an archery class during the summer when I was in elementary school. It was awesome, I made a ton of friends and was actually GREAT at it!
I used to love summer camp! I made good friends and had fun outdoors…it was a great experience!
I would love my child to have a great camping experience like I did as a child. It’s so much fun!!:)
My son is going to a sports camp this summer and I think he’ll really enjoy getting to learn different sports (he’s 4).
I think that i would love for my child to have that experience because it would mean he would be able to interact with children in an environment outside of school and I think that that experience alone would be very beneficial
I remember swimming in lake water at summer camp. I hope my daughter is less prissy about it than I was. :)
I went to summer camp every year from the time I was 9 until I was 14, and it was such an amazing experience learning outdoor skills, interacting with other kids all day, doing crafts, singing songs, and simply gaining some independence.
As a child, I went to summer camp with the Girl Scouts. As a teen, I went to summer camp with my church. I enjoyed every minute of it, and I definitely want my kids to have that experience.
I would love for my daughter to branch out and make friends with other kids and to gain the self confidence that she can do sporty things
My son’s most memorable (and painful) samp was when he came home with posion ivy on his feet. Ugh
I never went to camp.but daughter loves it
