Hi, I’m over here checking every day for crocus in my garden….no crocus yet, but it is already time to plan for Spring Break. Hopefully by the time it gets here we will have daffodils. I’m looking forward to warmer weather so the kids can play outside. Many of our favorite spring break camps are outside too!
As usual, we’ve tried to make things a little easier for you by rounding up our favorite Spring Break Camps for you to choose from.
If you’re looking even further ahead to the summer (look at you planning ahead!), Spring Break is a great opportunity to try out a camp that you’re considering for the summer as well. On that note, if you’re also ready to sign up for summer camp, don’t forget to check out all the new and updated camp listings in our Virtual Camp Expo and stay tuned for summer camp round ups coming soon.
