This area has an assortment of sleep-away camps, but the day camps are nearly all full-day, full-week. And one of the very few part-day camps, the one at the science center, costs as much as a full-day program anyway! The only real exception is the Boys & Girls Club, so that's where my kids will be hanging out a couple afternoons per week. Six dollars for membership for the whole summer!
One of my job duties at work is partnering with BGC and other agencies for a monthly Family Night program that takes place at the Club, so I know the facility and I know the staff, and they are great. Frankly, I think that people pay through the nose for summer programming at other places in town mostly so that they can be assured their kids are hanging out with other kids from families that can afford to pay through the nose.
