It’s really summer now and most of us have already enrolled our kids in camp (if we plan to at all), but I’m sure there are some parents feeling like summer is VERY long and regretting not signing up for some kind of camp (or more camp). Maybe those parents are, like me, wondering if parents ever get a summer vacation again?
If that sounds familiar and you need to sign up for a week or two of camp just to give yourself a break – and to keep the kids from bouncing off the walls and destroying everything in your home – there is good news! There are still plenty of summer camps with available spots. Just to make it easier, we put together this list of some of our favorite Brooklyn camps that have availability during the remainder of July and August.
Keep in mind that availability is tentative and they might fill up soon… so move quickly and secure your spot today!
