While looking for summer camps for my Child #2, I realized that there is a ton of information out there and it’s not all easy to sort it all out. I created a post while scouring the Internet for summer camps and listed them by place/company and it is helpful but still overwhelming. So I created this list by topic with all the same places and locations as the other post, just easier to find the topics of interest.
