Is your summer program cooler than a popsicle in a kiddie pool? Does it involve STEM, sports, dance, drama, nature, strength, ninjas (okay, maybe not actual ninjas), or just good old-fashioned fun? Then we want YOU in our 2026 Summer Camp & Programs Guide!
Our first-ever guide last year made waves—families found new favorites, and businesses got a sunny spotlight in front of thousands of local readers. (We didn’t count every eyeball, but trust us, it was a lot!).
