- My family of four lives in Queens, NY, where day camps are expensive.
- I'm an educator, so get most of the summer off and plan activities for my kids.
- We are moving with family to Illinois so my kids can attend summer camp there.
I've always wanted my kids to experience the joy of summer camp — hiking, singing, and weaving colorful friendship bracelets.
