Area Summer Camps For Kids

Parents have a few options this summer as to where to have your kids stay while you are at work.

For the last few weeks, I have been trying to find a camp for my girls to attend this summer and there are a few options for parents that are still looking. The Quincy Family YMCA announce that they will be offering their Summer Camp for kiddos this summer. There is an Open House tonight (May 27) for parents who have any questions about the camp. Camp Counselors will be on hand to answer any questions you may have. the open house will take place from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm for anyone to stop by. Summer Camp registration is open now for both members and non-members, and you can register in person or online. Summer Camp at the YMCA starts June 7. Financial assistance is available for those who qualify.

Also starting June 7, and available for members and non-members is the Kroc Center's Camp Kroc. Kids there will enjoy swimming, field trips, arts & crafts, games, music and more throughout the summer. Registration is open now and you can apply in person during normal business hours. With Camp Kroc you have the option to go full or part time, and will run from June 7 until August 13.

I have placed my kids in both camps and they loved them equally, both give a safe environment while parents are at work, and at the end of the day that is all a parent wants. A safe environment (and fun) for their kids.
