Dear KidsOutAndAbout.com readers:
When I was growing up in New Jersey in the '80s, we had two options for camp, at least as far as I was aware: Girl Scout Camp and Boy Scout Camp. (Okay, make that one option for camp.) Even though there were some specialty subjects that you could choose, when you went to camp you were going to camp. For, you know, the "camp experience." I went for a week during the summer after 7th grade, and here is the sum total of what I learned:
The last item is the only one that served me beyond middle school. Nowadays, thank goodness, camp is an entirely different enterprise, both for Girl Scouts and everyone else. Whether we send our kids to camp as a fun replacement for school/day care, or because we've found a great program where they can learn something they'd never learn in school, or because they, too, are craving a traditional overnight camp experience (let's hope, different from mine), we have tons of options. The market responded, and so today kids look forward to the summer even more than they used to.
Your area has LOADS of opportunities for summer camp 2019. And of course, KidsOutAndAbout has them all in one handy place! Each camp can post its own 2019 program to our site easily (and for free!), so there are a lot to choose from; you can search by subject or by week on our online 2019 Summer Camp guide. And also, on April 22, you'll receive a special edition of our e-newsletter just about summer camps. Look for it in your in-box on Monday!
