Here is another camp that my kids really like.... and it is being offered at a bargain price.

Whole truth:  My 8 year old boys cried for weeks before they were made to go to NYTEX Sports Camp.  So, I enlisted their friends to attend camp with them:  5 boys headed to camp together for one week of afternoon sports.  SUCCESS!  
In preparing the schedule for this summer,  NYTEX Sports Camp was their #1 request!

I contribute the success to 2 things:
1- they had friends at camp to hang with, although after the first day they didn't all stick together.
2 - NYTEX does it right - always offers 2 sports simultaneously so that kids get to choose what sport in which to participate. 
3- I know I said 2, but the kids really were just afraid of the unknown.  This is a great camp!

It's time to start planning for summer!

Come to the Youth Summer Activities Fair to meet with vendors face to face that can help you plan a great summer for your kids of all ages!
