Spring Camp

The boys have a spring camp this week it is put on by Springfield parks. I think it is a great service that they provide. I am sure that they will enjoy it. It only cost a little over 60 dollars per child and it is a week of fun and activities. They get to do all kinds of activities...like bowling, pizza, Lazar tag and swimming. I was surprised at the cost of the camp and the places and activities involved. It is not an over night camp, it is in service from 6 am to 7 pm. I would advise anyone who has small children and not a set destination for your child over spring break to check into it. The people leading the kids have been very friendly and helpful. I wish that there were more programs like this here in Springfield that I was informed about. I have found some programs here but they seem to be very costly and out of my price range for my budget. There are also other programs to get your children into but they are filled and not very advertised. I found a few programs when I first moved here, the boys and girls club..but that one was not one I really cared for. I also found some daycare that were decent, but the waiting list for my aged of children was long..or impossible to get in. I am not sure why Springfield does not offer more programs for children as this seems to be a family city. I guess it could be also that I have not lived here long enough to be very informed about them all. I know I have no idea what to do with the boys over the summer other then send them to their dads, because everything I know about is either out of my price range or over booked.
