2025 CAMP EDITION
COUNTDOWN TO SUMMER Editor's Note
Summer break is always exciting for kids, but it can also be a little stressful for parents
After school care can be challenging, but summer coverage for kids of different ages and interests can be especially overwhelming.
That's why we put together this new CAMP Magazine!
Find camp listings by city or grouped together by specialty, see what ages they are open to, and HOW MUCH THEY COST!
And since camp scheduling can be pretty daunting, balancing weekly camps, costs, and outside activities (like family vacations), we've even included printable planning sheets to help you stay organized.
HAPPY PLANNING!

Camp Planning Checklist
With so much on our plates, it’s easy to lose track of the little things. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you plan for camps this summer.
THE BASICS
Get the right details: Dates Hours Ages Location Costs
THE EXTRAS
Confirm the options:
Is there before/after care?
Do they provide food? Is there a sibling discount?
Is there a multi-session discount?
BONUS
More questions to ask: Do they provide a packing list?
Are there field trips and do they cost extra?
What’s the cancellation policy?
Is the staff trained in CPR?

Your child is going to be experiencing a sensory overload of new surroundings, new people, and new activities on opening day In my experience, it works well to just stay out of the way and let camp take over
Relish the Time Relish the Time Apart Apart

A change in routine is always a refreshing way to reflect on the things we appreciate in daily life Being away from our kids allow for time to reflect on the things we love most about them and gives us a break so we can jump right back into parenting feeling rejuvenated
WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SLEEP AWAY CAMP
By Bekah Page-Gourley
Sleepaway camp is a huge opportunity for kids to gain confidence and self-sufficiency and adapt to new surroundings. A time to let their personality shine. At camp, kids interact with peers and authority figures without mom and dad stepping in with reminders to be polite, a good sport, or otherwise 'helpful' advice. While away, they'll have highs, lows and everything in between on what will be a impactful and memorable experience.
