Make Your Little Campers Happy This Spring Break

When we were kids, going to camp meant a week of swimming, hiking and crafts by day and telling ghost stories around the campfire by night. Fast forward to 2011. These days, “going to camp” means learning a new language, honing soccer skills or exploring a new painting technique.

But camp doesn’t only happen during the dog days of summer. Plenty of places around town offer spring break camps.
