About Summer Camp Planner.

What we are, why we built this, and how it stays free for families.

↘ What we are

A free directory + planning workspace covering summer camps across the US and Canada. 19,500+ active camps in 45+ metros, with 2026 pricing, age ranges, and parent-focused filters. Built by a parent who lost four summers trying to coordinate three kids across spreadsheets.

Two surfaces, one goal — help families make good summer decisions fast:

  • The directory (/directory) — browse + filter 19,500+ camps by metro, type, age, features, month. Facet pages + metro hubs + camp detail with live pricing.
  • The planner (/app) — free workspace where you shortlist camps, compare side-by-side, and assign your kids to specific weeks. Shared with a co-parent or caregiver.
  • The Zine (/guides) — 10 data-backed pillar guides + 30 metro-specific guides + legacy planning briefs.
↘ How we stay free

Sponsored placements on directory pages + /guides sidebar, labeled as such. Sponsorship does NOT influence editorial rankings, camp sorting, whether a camp is in the catalog, comparison-page content, or the pricing report methodology. Full disclosure on our editorial standards page.
