Summer is the perfect time for kids to explore new interests, make lasting friendships, and enjoy outdoor fun. However, there’s nothing quite like having to strategize and register for summer camp when it’s still freezing outside. Most of the summer camp registrations open this month and they tend to fill up fast so if you rely on camps for childcare like we do, it’s time to get rolling. Consider this your guide to summer camps in Milton. Here are a few of my absolute favorite local area camps to consider. If I missed one you love, leave a comment with the details and I’ll keep updating this list.
