Sewing: Summer camp for kids is an expensive necessity these days
Melissa Phillip, Houston Chronicle / Staff photographerFor weeks, I have been combing through websites in search of affordable and convenient summer day camps for my 6-year-old daughter, who now is in public school, so her summers are free.
“My plan right now is that there is no plan,” said Lauren Harris, who has a 10-year-old son, Caleb, and 7-year-old daughter, Chloe, with her husband, Trey. “I’m usually done by February with my summer camps, but with inflation and the rise in tuition, we’re looking for something different. Something more affordable.”
But cost isn’t the only issue. Access, particularly during the hours parents need care for the kids during the summer, is often not available. The challenges are even more difficult for a child with special needs. The blessing of the pandemic was that my summer camp was free — in my backyard with inflatable pools, rollerskating challenges, chalk-art displays and simple science projects in the driveway.
Sometime those parents who are fortunate to find summer camp deals are reluctant to share the details, too.

Summer of Pineapple and Tuna Fish - Laurie Stone WritesSome people don’t believe in aging. My grandmother was one of them. I realized this as I stood in the Hyannis Bus Station one afternoon in June of 1974. I was seventeen, had just graduated high school, and grateful my parents had agreed to let me stay with Nana for the summer. Five minutes passed, ten, but there was no sign of my grandmother. I had started to think she had mixed up the dates when across the station I heard “Law!” Only one person called me by that nickname.
