This is the first in a series of posts I will be doing over the next few weeks focusing on summer camps in the Austin area.

While the list is not exhaustive, it provides quite a variety of options. I have focused in particular on including camps in different areas in or near Austin, with a variety of price points, and on full-day camps as much as possible, in addition to providing some options for little ones.

Read MoreWait, what??!! Only ~12 days until winter break?! It’s that time of year again when many parents are starting to sweat a little thinking of trying to get coverage for some of the 2+ weeks the kids are off for the holiday break. If you haven’t yet, it’s time to sign the kids up for winter camps! In an effort to make your life easier, I have compiled a list of some camps offering winter sessions below. In my experience, winter camps tend to be more expensive than summer camps, are harder to find 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, with a variety of price points, and a few options for littles.

Read MoreMany school districts around Austin will be taking a full week break for Thanksgiving for the first time this year, rather than the traditional two to three days.

In an effort to make your life easier, I have compiled a list of camps offering sessions during thanksgiving week…

Read MoreThis is the fourth and final in a series of posts I wrote on summer camps in the Austin area. Previous posts focused on science and STEM-based camps, arts-based camps, and sports camps. This week's post focuses on day 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.
