Summer Camps Abound on Coastside!

School’s out and suddenly summer is here. If you think you are too late to sign up your child for Summer Camp, think again! Many programs run weekly or are scheduled throughout the summer with July or August start dates. 

If you haven’t considered camp before and you need child care for “that one week,” take a look at the offerings and see what suits your schedule and your child’s interests. Whether it’s drama, soccer or lifeguard training, there are plenty of options from which to choose. With a little planning, your child can enjoy one of summer’s best past times. 

This is an inaugural Summer Camp overview for the Coastside Mothers’ Club. If we haven’t included your favorite camp, let us know! All details are directly from the venues’ websites. Be sure to contact camps directly for complete information.
