Each spring, The Dallas Morning News rounds up day camps and classes in our Parents’ Guide to Summer to help families plan a super summer for their kids. Here are five tips to help you choose a program that’s just right.
- Parents’ Guide to Summer is a great way to start your camp search, but be sure to visit the individual camp websites for more detailed information about snacks and lunchtime, holiday scheduling around Memorial Day and the Fourth of July, and more.
- Some camps offer money-saving options based on early registration, financial need and other factors. Contact information is included in Parents’ Guide listings. You can also search our online listings for programs that are free.
- Many camps offer early drop-off and late pickup times for working parents or caregivers, but there is usually a charge.
- No matter which camp you choose, parents should research the program to find the best fit and make sure the camp is safe and well-run.
- For more camp advice, try the American Camp Association’s website for parents and families.
