Summer is quickly approaching! We are launching a guide of some great summer camps in our local area. Do you know of a great camp or run one in the local area? If so, please contact me ASAP to be a part of the 2015 Summer Camp Guide! Email Jen at jenh@macaronikid.com!

Check out these great local camps:

Bay Aerials Gym

At Bay Aerials Gym Camp, your child will spend the day learning gymnastics while bouncing, running, jumping and climbing their way through our amazing facility. Safety-certified instructors place campers in groups based on age and skill level, ensuring every camper has the most fun and safe experience possible and plenty of opportunities to make friends.

Campers ages 3 and 4 spend the day growing their cognitive and playground readiness, motor skills, fitness and character while learning gymnastics. Our older campers (ages 5 and up) will have the opportunity to grow their flexibility, strength, fitness and character, while learning gymnastics skills on floor, bars, beam and more.

Staffing: All of our staff are USA Gymnastics Safety Certified.

Camp Galileo

With programs for Pre-K through 8th grade with many locations, Camp Galileo is the camp for kids. We combine art, science and outdoor activities around weekly themes. The world needs innovators. Kids who learn to explore and fail without fear - the essence of innovation - are happier, more creative and more confident when faced with life's challenges. Your kids can get this incredible boost at Camp Galileo!

Steve & Kate's Camp

Steve & Kate's Camp conforms to kids, not the other way around. Instead of a rigid structure, they give campers choice. Instead of teaching kids the typical way, they give them tools and gentle guidance to help them become autodidacts, people who teach themselves. The difference is subtle–and it’s profound. There are a gazillion ways for kids to design a day at camp. One camper might dive into bread making and animation while another flies down a water slide and scores a goal in their inflatable soccer stadium. It’s up to them. Steve & Kate's Camp doesn't expect you to know when or what time you can get your troops to camp, which is why since 1980 their policy has been to be as flexible as you need them to be.

For kids in grades Pre-K through 7th at 40+ locations

You can buy a whole summer membership ($2,415, lunch and guest pass included) or you can purchase as many day passes ($89/day for less than 5) as you want and use them whenever. Didn't use them? No sweat: they'll give you a full refund for unused passes. Best of all, you don’t even have to tell them when you're coming.
