March Editor's Letter

Back during my teaching years, I worked several summers as an assistant director for a local summer day camp. It was loads of work but also tons of fun. Part of the fun was seeing campers return year after year, along with staff and assistants. I also enjoyed the environment. Camp has a very laid-back, relaxed feel to it. It was a treat to get to work with the kids and see them outside of school.

The March issue is our annual summer camp issue. And while you may look outside and think, “Summer is a LONG way off,” you’ll blink and summer will have arrived! I know from experience that all of these fabulous camps listed in our 20-plus-page guide have been working for months to plan a great experience for Kansas City kids. Whether you’re looking for a day camp, overnight camp, specialized camp, sport camp, etc., we have you covered. So grab a cup of coffee and your kids and enjoy leafing through the camp guide together and planning out the best summer ever!

Do you have spring break plans? We typically don’t travel over spring break, but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the fun! If you are staying in KC for your break this year, we’ve got some terrific ideas for you. And our calendar has lots of great events to keep you busy the entire break. Easter comes early this year, so be sure to visit KCParent.com for great egg hunts and other Easter events all over the metro.

Happy spring and Happy Easter, Kansas City!
