I've always wanted my kids to experience the joy of summer camp — hiking, singing, and weaving colorful friendship bracelets.
Thankfully, I'm an educator who doesn't work full-time during the summer, so we usually pursue an economical option, the DIY "Mama Camp."
The author — who has summers off — would do "mama camp" with her children in New York City.
Courtesy of the authorMy kids never complained about Mama Camp — but I still wanted them to see what camp was like with other kids.
This year, "Mama Camp" will allow some time for Mama to play too.
