Weekend pick: Time for camp
It may not even be spring yet, but parents know it's always later than you think. Time to figure out what your child is doing this summer, especially if you are planning on sending her to camp.
If you haven't made a decision yet, or you're looking to explore some new options, you might want to check out the annual Baltimore's Child camp fair from 12-3 p.m. Sunday at the Crowne Plaza, 2004 Greenspring Drive, Timonium. (For more information, call 410-367-5883.) You can meet camp directors and collect brochures on different programs. If you can't make the fair, there's a virtual version at the magazine's web site, with listings for more than 300 area camps.
I thought it would be helpful if parents could share some reviews here of camps their children have attended in the past. Which programs did your children love, and why? Which didn't quite work for you, and why not? Please tell us by hitting the blue "Comments" link below.

Why o why does Howard County Recreation and Parks offer "camps" that last just four hours a day for school-aged children without offering extended day child care or at least transportation home? Surely I cannot be the only parent in the workforce who considers the timing of these day camps a cruel trick.
