Spring is in the air… even though it’s only February, it’s been 70 degrees on and off and most parents I know are already thinking about summer camp – especially with Raleigh Parks & Recreation’s registration going live last week. Well, if that process weren’t challenging enough, wading through all the many, many summer and track-out camp options out there is seriously OVERWHELMING. I literally have stacks of paper on my desk – printouts of all the camps I’ve heard about, how much they cost, where they are, what ages they accept, what weeks they are open and on and on. I started to build a spreadsheet to compare them all, but who has time for THAT?
That’s when I learned about Fun 4 Raleigh Kids Summer Camp Expo. Coming to the NC State Fairgrounds on Saturday, March 18 from 11 am to 5 pm (Kerr Scott Building), parents will have the opportunity to talk with representatives from dozens of local camps to learn more about summer, track-out and holiday options. Whether your kids are into sports, music, rock-climbing or arts – the expo will have something for every family. Just to name a few who’ve signed up so far – Artopia, Bach to Rock, Triangle Rock Club, Spanish for Fun and much, much more. Plus, they’ll have activities for kids, unique deals promoted only at the expo, goodie bags and a comprehensive guide for easy reference, providing detailed information of all participating camps – thank goodness I didn’t waste my time on a spreadsheet!
And, if you haven’t checked it out,Fun 4 Raleigh Kids is owned by Wake Forest resident Laura Moseley and is a great resource for funding fun activities for families in the Raleigh area, as well as providing a directory of local businesses whose target audience is local families.
