Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:
Here at KidsOutAndAbout.com, we love promoting summer camps as a way for kids to learn, expand their friendship circles, and have fun without the pressure of grades or consequences. Local summer camps have pulled out all the stops to ensure your kids have a great time.
After getting inspired by the camp descriptions below with programs for preschoolers through teens, head over to
our Week by Week Guide to Summer Camps and what's been posted so far for 2026. Bookmark that main portal page to get where you need to go quickly to search by date or subject. New camps are being added constantly, so check back frequently. I hope you enjoy our special-edition camp
newsletter, and that you forward it to your friends who may also be shopping for summer camps. We'll be back with your regularly-scheduled weekly newsletter on Thursday! —Debra Ross, publisher

The goal of Camp Crescent Moon is to provide a week-long, sleep away camp experience for children with sickle cell disease who are unable to attend traditional camp program. Children with sickle cell disease would typically be excluded from other camps due
to the potential serious complications that could arise at elevations above 5,000 feet, the environment, daily camp activities and the lack of a medical staff experienced in the management and care of sickle cell disease.
