Lily is headed off to summer camp, not the kind where you live in a cabin for a few weeks. She is only 4 and besides I am pretty sure she is allergic to nature, like me. The summer camp that she is going to is actually a Kindergarten Redines program at her ‘New School’ as we call it. This school is where she will be attending Kindergarten in the fall so we thought it would be a good idea to enroll her in their Summer Camp so that she can become more familiar with her new school. In addition to KinderCamp they also offer KinderSpanish, KinderArt and KinderHipHop. There are many programs available for all grades. Check out the St. Mary’s School Summer Session, it runs in two sessions the first is from June 14 – July 2 and the second is July 6 – July 23.
If you are looking for something else such as horse riding camp or singing camp you can check out the Sacramento Parent Magazine Camp guide for some great ideas. I know that The Little Gym is running a fun summer camp with a new theme each week and you pick how many days your kid wants to go. They can go all week or just a few days, it’s up to you. And as always check with your local park & recreation catalog for fun summer time camps.
When you send your kids off to camp, be sure to label their gear or you might end up with some other kids lunch box or shoes! I buy my labels from Mabel’s Labels and they are awesome. They don’t come off in the dishwasher and they have some pretty snazzy designs. They have a special combo pack called a Camp Pack / School Pack. The pack comes with clothing labels, bag tags and sticky labels. You will get 15 Sticky Labels 8 Shoe Labels, 2 Bag Tags, 40 Iron-Ons or 50 Tag Mates™. If you want to place an order I have a special coupon code for the first person who emails me and asks for it! The coupon code is good for $6 off your order of a Camp Pack / School Pack.
So tell me, what are your kids up to this summer?
