  Overnight Camps

Sure, you and your family may still be bundled up against February's chill in mittens and earmuffs, but it's never too early to start planning for the warmer months ahead-particularly when it comes to your children's summer activities. Our annual Summer Camp Guide will help you get a head start on choosing a program that suits your child's needs. February's issue features the first of two installments, with a focus on Overnight Camp selections. Our second installment, appearing in our March issue, includes a full listing of day camps.
