Moms Talk: The Summer Dilemma

Moms Talk is a new feature on Bethesda Patch that is part of a new initiative on our Patch sites to reach out to moms and families.

Each week in Moms Talk, our Moms Council of experts and smart moms take your questions, give advice and share solutions.

Moms, dads, grandparents and the diverse families who make up our community are all welcome to weigh in and use the discussion forum as a resource. Each week, we'll pose a question and solicit feedback on a wide array of issues, but you should feel free to suggest questions you'd like to see discussed as well.

This week, our discussion turns to summer break. Even though it's still winter, some summer camps are already taking registrations, so it's a good time to start thinking ahead.

Participate in the discussion by telling us your thoughts in the comment section on this week's question:

What are you doing with your kids this summer when they're out of school?  How do you choose a summer camp?  What things do you look for in a summer camp for your kids?  How do you know if your child is ready for a sleep-away camp?
