Summer camps are not cheap. Why are they so expensive?  | |  I received an email from a few parents at my son's school saying that they were looking into sending their boys to a sports summer camp for four days (5th day being set aside for rain) from 8am-1pm in July and wondered whether Maddy would be interested in going too. I thought, ooh yay, why not, sounds like a lot of fun for him and I'm sure he will enjoy it too.
I went online to check the details and came across the price. $175 - can you believe it? I thought that was expensive for four days and only 20 hours in total to learn the basics in soccer, basketball, volleyball, softball and baseball. Or is the normal price? or am I getting a good deal here?. Do you think it's worth it?
I know they have to pay for the park grounds and person who is doing the camp but still, I could put him in 3 arts and crafts and doodler camps for that price lol but know that wouldn't be much fun considering he did this already last year lol
What do you think? am I over-reacting or is this the norm? Thanks for sharing.

| | | | | | 11.  golfproo (1614) | 2 years ago |  Hi There,
I think it is basically the same as anything...if it is in demand the prices will increase. As the summer approaches and everyone will have the kids home, the push is on to keep them occupied and the demand for these camps goes through the roof. I think there are some real good ones though depending upon where you look.
cheers,

| | | 12. kimbers867 (1183) | 1 year ago |  That's about right.
I guess it depends on the area you live.
I put my 7 year old in gymnastics camp. It was for five days 9 - 1, with three hours of gymnastics, then lunch and one hour of swimming a day. It cost $150.
Then I know the all day camps are very high also.
I have a friend who has two that she has to put in for the summer, so she can work and it is about $1200 a month. Ugh!
