By Edited by Eileen Diener July 24, 2014
Hello all! Yes...it's time to start thinking about Spring and Summer Camps! I have been plugging away to check out the local camps and will be updating the guide each time a new camp decides to be part of our guide.  


US Sports Institute 
--their famous Total Play Multi-Sport Camps provide campers age 5-12 with a fun-packed and enjoyable time in an environment where they can not only develop a wider range of sporting skills, experiencing over 16 sports in one week, but also develop teamwork and interpersonal skills at the same time. No sports camp provider can match the diverse experience that a camper gets at a US Sports Institute multi sports camp.  Not only will they have a Summer Camp, but also a  Spring Program for ages 3 to 5.  Read the articlebelow.

During the summer, children get a well deserved vacation from school, but parents still have to work. As a family owned and operated camp, we know the worries that parents face when school ends and summer begins. It is for this reason that we founded Camps ‘R’ Us. We provide families with the most safe, fun and affordable summer day camp experience available. Our award-winning camp programs offer children, ages 3 - 15, a diverse summer experience, including Sports, Arts & Crafts, Games, Swimming, Bowling, Trips, Special Events and much more.
