Hi families,
Last year, this was by far our most popular post. Aquidneck Island and the surrounding area offer some incredible camps - we seriously are the luckiest!
Many of these camps don't open registration until later this week or in a few weeks, but if you're like me, you like to plan ahead a bit.
I’ve included a few details here, but for the most up-to-date information, click on the links for each camp for details, pricing, ages, themes, and to register.
As camps open up or are added, I'll continue to add them and update them here. If we forgot any cool ones, make sure to leave us a comment!
Warmly,
Erin
