Enriched Family’s Austin Spring Break 2021 Camp Roundup

Spring Break 2021 is less than two weeks away! After everything we have been through with the snowpocalypse and ongoing infrastructure & supply issues in Texas, on top of the pandemic, Spring Break very well may have sneaked up on you. In an effort to make your life easier, I have compiled a list of camps offering sessions the week of March 15-19. While the list is not exhaustive, it provides a variety of options. I focused on including camps located in different areas in or near Austin, with a variety of price points. I have included both full-day camps, as well as half-day camps, and drop-in care. In addition, I have paid special attention to including care options for little ones as well as older children.

Please be advised that you will have to make the best decision for your family in terms of whether a particular camp or care option meets your family’s desired degree of COVID precautions. I have included COVID information for each care option, as available, so you can make an informed decision. In addition, I have included both online and in-person camps on a variety of topics, as well as some outdoor camps.

If you ever need help exploring the best camps for your kids, please reach out. Enriched Family offers custom camp research, schedule planning, and can even register your kiddos for camp! I’m happy to help you figure out Spring Break, Summer Break, or the whole year of school break camps for your children! Let me be your extra set of qualified hands.

Enriched Family Austin-Area Summer Camp Roundup 2020

Summer camps 2020?! To help you in this decision-making calculus, Enriched Family created this blog post rounding up a list of Austin-area camps. The roundup includes online camps, in-person camps (both indoor and outdoor), overnight camps, free or reduced cost camps, and other childcare options. For each category, I will highlight the safety and hygiene measures each camp is stating they will follow, as well as CDC guidance about reopening camps and child care locations. My goal is to provide you with the information you need to make the best decision for your unique family circumstances.

Enriched Family Winter Break Camp Roundup

Winter break is LONG. And 2+ weeks of unstructured time with kids can get a little crazy. For many parents, in order to balance work and family responsibilities (in addition to sanity), this means filling in the break with some fun camp options. As your extra set of hands, I have compiled a list of camps offering sessions during the winter break. In general, winter break camps tend to be a bit harder to find than summer break camps, especially for little ones, and often do not cover the full school break. I have focused on including camps in different areas in or near Austin (camps are organized by geographic location), with a variety of price points, a few options for littles, and camps that provide a range of coverage - from workshops to full week camps. I’ve also included co-working spaces with childcare and drop-in care options. Here’s to Happy Campers one and all!

Enriched Family Fall/Thanksgiving Break Camp Roundup

Many public school districts around Austin now take a full-week for Fall/Thanksgiving Break, rather than the traditional two to three days. This includes, for example, Austin ISD, Eanes ISD, Lake Travis ISD, Leander ISD, and Round Rock ISD. For many parents, in order to balance work and family responsibilities, this means filling in the week with some camp options. In an effort to make your life easier, I have compiled a list of camps offering sessions during Thanksgiving week. In my experience, fall and winter break camps tend to be a bit harder to find, especially for little ones, and often do not cover the full school break. I have tried to include camps in different areas in or near Austin (camps are organized by geographic location), with a variety of price points, a few options for littles, and have focused on including camps that provide a range of coverage - from workshops to four-day camps. Here’s to Happy Campers one and all!

Enriched Family Austin Summer Camp Special Feature (2019): Day, Overnight, and Specialty Camps

This is the fourth and final post in a series Enriched Family does annually on summer camps in the Austin area. Previous posts focused on science, STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)/STEAM (STEM + art), and coding camps, as well as arts camps, including visual art, creative writing, dance, drama/theater, film, music, and arts combinations for all ages, and sports camps, including baseball, basketball, climbing, golf, gymnastics, horseback riding, martial arts, multi-sport, and soccer camps. Check them out if you missed them! This week's post focuses on day camps, some specialty camps, and overnight camps. When I think of day camps, I think of a "classic" camp experience - all around fun, incorporating different structured activities, as well as lots of outdoor activities, and plenty of unstructured time for fun - the camps included in this post were selected based on their fit with this camp definition. Overnight camps included meet the day camp definition and have the added benefit of being sleep away camps. Specialty camps focus on a particular area or support specific groups of kids (girls’ empowerment, for example, or camps that focus specifically on programming for children with disabilities).
