When I think summer camp, I envision the antics played out by a set of *twins* in one of my favorite childhood films, “The Parent Trap”. Luckily, this doesn’t age me as you are left to wonder to which version of the movie I refer. Please weigh in on your personal preference below:

Circa 2010, I’ve heard my neighbors lamenting for months now the challenge of finding a good, affordable summer camp for their kids. The camp not only needs to be of interest to their progeny, but it also must span the right hours, the right weeks, the right age range, and not cost roughly $1 Million (This is the Bay Area. Be careful).

Enter Sign Up For Camp (www.signupforcamp.com). This terrific website allows you to search for camps in your area by location, dates, type of activity, full day vs. partial day, and gender. You can then save your favorites to an easy-to-manage calendar, and share them to coordinate with friends/family. Beautiful!

The only thing it doesn’t do: guarantee that your child’s separated-at-birth identical twin doesn’t show up, too.
