I never went to summer camp. My mother had been traumatized by it, for one thing, and so refused to foist it upon me, and anyway I grew up in the woods, far away from . . . everything.
My friend Beth’s mother, conversely, threatened her with summer camp as a punishment for bad behavior—and did send her one year! She hated it.
But back then, summer camp meant one thing: sleepaway camp. Nowadays, there are dozens of choices, both day camps and overnight—the variety is astonishing. That’s what this issue, and our annual Summer Camp & Activity Fair, is all about. Whether kids are into sports, science, art, or opera—or a combination of many things—you’ll be able to find a camp to suit.
From all of us at (585) Kids, have a super summer!
