we’re making summer planning easier!

02.19.2016 By: Eliza, MiniBury Founder

Can we all agree that summer planning is difficult? Seriously, we could spend hours ranting about how fast camps fill up, how varied registration periods are and how 9:00am – 3:00pm is not technically a full day. But you already know that. You need to know what camps are out there and you need a tool that makes planning easier. That’s why we’ve been cultivating a list of summer camps over the past few years and why we’re really excited to introduce you to our newest version. The 2016 Summer Camp Guide is designed to simplify planning, and ensure that your children have access to the very best in education, athletics and arts offered through summer camp programs.

Having a list of camp names, links, dates and general descriptions ALL.IN.ONE.PLACE will make finding summer camps – your kiddos will love – on the weeks you need care – easier. We promise.

Check out our top picks for summer below and then hop over to the Summer Camp Guide for LOTS more great camps. And speaking of more camps, check back frequently, because we’re adding new camps every day and have plans to release another planning tool next month….the summer camp calendar is coming back!

Hello, I’m Eliza. I founded MiniBury in 2012 because I had a hunch that I wasn't the only parent in Addison County missing fun family friendly events. I love the challenge of finding and sharing information about our community to other parents.
