$275 for half day camp 12:30-3:45 for DS for 3 1/2 weeks
$550 for the second half of summer.

Day camp here is $50/week. We homeschool the rest of the year, but I send my two oldest to day camp all of July. It's a great change of pace for us! And I get some focused time with the two youngest, thoroughly declutter and organize my house, and do my lesson planning for the coming year. It's great!

My son's day camp was 1420 shekel for 12 days. I think that's insane. They went on 2 trips that were, get this, FREE trips. Like a big park and a hike.

Wow, that's A LOT! Ds1's camp was $110 for one week and they went on very nice trips. (This daycamp consists of only trips; they go to a different place each day. Some trips are free, some cost money, but all are a lot of fun.)

In Baltimore paid $900 early registration fee for both DS and DD to go to day camp for 7 weeks. This does not include tips. There were no trip fees.

Long, Long, Long, Long ago when I went to sleepaway camp for 8 weeks it was $7000.

My two oldest each got to go to one month of camp. My preschooler went to 5 weeks of backyard camp in July for $45/week and my elementary school child is going to camp that is $80/week (but it includes a trip per week and swimming at a real pool).

890 shekel times 4 kids - 3 weeks of school day camp. A generous number of trips. Kids ages 4-12. (The 4 year olds don't have trips.)

My 20 year old DS will work in a day camp.
My 18 year old DD wants to volunteer in a 10-day special needs sleepaway camp.
My 17 year old DS is in sleepaway camp in the US, and a relative is paying. He is a special case.


That was last year.
This year:
950 X 3 kids - 3 weeks of school day camp, with a lot of trips.
690 for 3 weeks of gan day camp without trips.
I don't even know how much - for a hairstyling course my adult daughter is doing.
Relatives paid for my adult sons to visit them for a few weeks.

I don't know if this was posted already, but most offices provide a flexible spending account for day care. The money comes out of your paycheck pretax, and can be used for day camps for children under 12. I use this to pay for my kids to go to day camp and we save a lot of money on our taxes this way.

I claim $4,000 for my 2 children to go to day camp - that's a lot of tax money we don't pay (legally I might add).

The only catch is, if you don't use it, you lose it, and you have to pay first and then get reimbursed after the summer is over.
