Camp Alternatives
There are still far less camps offered post-COVID than there were prior to 2020. Many camps are selling out fast. We also noticed relatively few camps on days such as Friday of Fall Break and Friday of Thanksgiving week.
Consider trading child care days with your child’s classmates or friends. While you will still need to take some days off, you can share the burden. There were a few summers where a group of friends and I ran a week or two of “friend camp” and each took a day hosting and planning activities. If you have the ability to work from home, I always found that by middle elementary school, having a friend over actually made it easier to work (this may not be true for all kids).
