Where are all the camps in the East area?
Your guide to the summer camps is awesome. I wish I’d had it all at my fingertips when my boys were little (now 30/28/20! yikes!) I’m doing research for two of our employees with elementary kids. As single moms, it is a challenge for them to afford summer camps. I’m glad to see more opportunities for them to apply for scholarships. This also gives me a more realistic view of what is out there for current moms. The site is very well done.
I applaud you for taking charge of your life in lieu of the obstacles you and your husband have faced in the last eight years.
You are brave.
Respectfully,
Sandra
