Anyone send their 2.5-3 yr old to summer camp?

I had no idea they even offered camp to toddlers.

Anyone have experience? Not sure I feel comfortable doing this...but several of DD's nursery school classmates are going to camp this summer.

If so, which camp? Anyone go to Park Shore?

Crashing. I worked at a summer camp over the summer. Littlest one was about 2.5 years old. He was bathroom trained. Some children went half day and some went full day. I think the ones with older siblings went full day on the bus.

I send my son to a 2 year old program now, and will be sending him to the school's related summer camp for the summer for 4-5 hours a day. My parents will be dropping him off and picking him up, though. I wouldn't feel comfortable sending him on a bus at his age, but that's just me. Also, the camp itself is only for pre-K kids, which assuaged any worries about him being lost among big kids.

Dd is going to camp this summer at her nursery school. She turns 2 end of June. I was going to do a mommy and me with her at a day camp, but now I'm due with #2 in July so can't do it.

Re: Anyone send their 2.5-3 yr old to summer camp?

I only started sending my first DS to "camp" when he was 3.5 yrs old. And that was just a half day thing at the Y three days a week. Honestly, I was not comfortable sending them at 2. I will say that I have heard good things about Park Shore in general.

Anyone send their 2.5-3 yr old to summer camp?

DD went to camp last summer when she was about 2.5.. it was at the preschool that she ultimately started a 3's program at in September. She enjoyed it.. it was 3 days a week 2.5 hours a day.. I thought it was good to get her ouyt of the house on the days I was working and also a good intro to preschool. She loved it.. I will send her again this summer.. but the camp was only for preschool kids and the preschool teachers ran it (and high school kids assisting) .. and no bus-- I wouldn't feel comfortable with that either.

My children did a camp when they were that age at their nursery school. They loved it. But it was appropriate for their age group as opposed to say a regular camp for kids 5+. The did art, various activities, playground time that included sprinklers or other water play (not swimming things like water cup races, paintbrush and water, trays with water toys).
