Moms with kids who were in summer camp
Moms with kids in summer camp: I realize this is early but I feel like I have to get some ideas together since I'm a FTWM. Looking for camp recommendations anywhere from Islip to mid-Nassau. Also can you give me an idea of how much it costs? I'm almost afraid to hear the fee LOL I've been looking online but the only program I can get a price on was at Hofstra and it was crazy expensive.

Re: Moms with kids who were in summer camp
my son went to South Shore in Bellmore, 5 days a week, 9-5pm, includes buses, food and trips. i paid $4200. next summer he'll probably go to MapleWood in Wantagh only because his best friend goes there. its about the same price.

All their pricing is online. Unfortunately you missed their early bird rates. Camp is expensive!

When I researching, Camps R Us was the cheapest and had the best hours for working parents.

Re: Moms with kids who were in summer camp
I used the camp at Tutor Time- they have an adventure camp for ages 5-12 where they take them on field trips.
It was like $125 registration fee then for 3 days a week it was $353/week last year. We only do 3 days- so I don't recall what it was for 5 days. The nice thing- the center is open 630 am to 630 pm so it's great for a working mom's schedule

We will most likely be doing Buckley again (located in Roslyn). Cost for early bird is about $6500. The program is great and my son had a blast. I would check it out if you are located nearby!

My DD goes to Buckley as well and loves it. For full day 8 weeks early bird tuition is more than that though i think.

I am going to try Buckley next summer, DS will be 5. We did another camp this summer and it was not a good fit for him at all. I have never heard one negative thing about Buckley.

Re: Moms with kids who were in summer camp
I'm in Suffolk County. I paid @ $3500 for 8 weeks, 4 days per week from 7-4. It's an extra $10 per day (paid at pick up) if the child stays from 4-6pm.

Re: Moms with kids who were in summer camp
If you are in the town of Islip, check the rec centers as we used them and they were the cheapest around. A few years ago we paid $1,000 for 8 weeks.
