So what are some of the best camps in San Diego? We reached out to a few of our favorite parenting and lifestyle bloggers in town to get the skinny on San Diego’s best summer camps.

For kids ages 6-16 who’ve been bitten by the theater bug, Mary Burt-Godwin of The Mama Mary Show recommends Broadway Bound in Carlsbad. Broadway Bound is a 2 week summer workshop offering classes in singing, dancing, and acting. This camp costs $250 for the full two weeks and runs from July 8 – July 19. Word on the street is that this year they’re doing a Frozen theme!

Laurie Marr, the writer of Sea Glass Hearts, suggests the YMCA‘s summer camps. YMCA offers day camps in addition to overnight camps in locations in Julian and by the beach. At the YMCA San Diego, kids can do activities from surfing to horseback riding to Ancient Egyptian History and more, plus there are locations all over the county. The cost of the camps varies, starting at $135 a week for day camps, and up to $715 a week for the overnight camps.

If your kids want to get out on the green this summer, Bri Geeski, who blogs here, is a huge fan of Future Champions Junior Golf Camp. Kids as young as 6 can spend either half or full days working on their swing and making new friends. Campers are divided into smaller, more focused groups based on age and skill level. The half-day rate is $199 for 3 days and the full-day rate is $299.
