Summer planning officiallly starts now.
This is when camps begin publishing schedules and opening early registration, giving families their first real look at what summer can hold. Seeing options early makes it easier to plan thoughtfully, take advantage of early bird pricing, and stay organized without the scramble that often shows up later in the spring.
Rather than searching across dozens of camp websites, School’s Out brings this information together in one place. To kick off the season, we’ve pulled together a list of the camps that opened registration this week, making it easier to see what’s newly available right now. These activities will all be published on the School's Out platform as a fast follow.
