Calling All Campers!

While school-age children look forward to summer from the second day of school on, parents are usually not as enthusiastic about the prospect of unsupervised minors running amok for two-plus months.

Instead of shipping them off to some hapless relative or pay out the nose for extended babysitting, try these local day camps and summer camps, which will entertain, educate and inspire your children while keeping them professionally supervised.

• City of Lemon Grove Day Camp

Kids will enjoy a variety of activities, including sports, games, field trips and more.  Call the recreation center for registration information and an updated schedule.

• Kroc Center Day Camp

Whether your child is into sports, adventure, arts and crafts or spiritual discovery, the Kroc Center is offering several choices for summer fun. Registration is open now.

• SDSU Teen CAMPX

Teens looking to spruce up their college applications while having fun this summer will have the opportunity to try out game design software, learn to create video from experts in a real TV production studio, or stage their own courtroom drama at the San Diego Superior Court. Registration is open now.

• CYT Camp

Broadway babies are invited to learn the performing arts at the CYT’s summer camps. The nearest location (Del Cerro Baptist Church or Lewis Middle School) will offer the “Pirates and Princesses” and “Toon Town” programs for ages 5-12. Registration is open now.

• College for Kids

Cuyamaca College will host students entering grades 5-9, with three camps to choose from: Pioneer Skills in the Computer World, Art Stars, and You, the Artist.  Registration is open now.
