And, this one time, at summer camp . . .
Summer break is just around the corner and many of us are looking at summer camp options. Maybe we want a camp to help with the child care load, or to break up the summer fun and ho hums (because you know the kids are either having a great time or are bored stiff).

With just a little bit of work you can find camps that fit your budget and your lifestyle.
