I know, I know…it doesn’t feel one bit like summer, but if we think about it and plan for it, maybe it will come? I know many parents sign their kids up for weekly summer camps, so I thought I would give you a little help as you finalize your summer plans. There are so many great options out there!

Many establishments offer a discounted rate for early registration and many camps fill up, so make your choices early. If you know about a camp or are putting on a camp that is not listed here, feel free to contact me and let me know about it! I want this list to be as comprehensive as possible for my readers.

I will also be spotlighting some of the new camps out there and those that are less well known in the coming weeks. If you would like to be considered, please contact me.
