How much do people budget for daycamp? What's the typical cost per kid for K-5 grades? In lakewood if it matters but let's assume a typical day camp, nothing exotic or super fancy. My oldest is still pre-school aged, so I have no idea what a typical summer costs once they get past daycare

Let’s break this down in a simple way: 1. What is day camp? Day camp is a place kids go during the summer. They play, do activities, and have fun while parents are at work. 2. How much does it cost in Lakewood for K-5 kids? • For a regular (not fancy) day camp in Lakewood, most families pay about $200 to $300 per week for each child. • Camps usually run for about 6 to 8 weeks in the summer. • That means, for the whole summer, you might pay between $1,200 and $2,400 for one child. 3. What do families usually budget? • Many families plan for about $1,500 to $2,000 per child for the summer. • Some camps might be a little less, and some a little more, but this is a good average for a typical camp. 4. What should you remember? • If you have more than one child, you can multiply the cost by the number of kids. • Some camps give discounts for more than one child from the same family. • There might be extra costs for trips or special activities, but most of the time, the main fee covers everything. Takeaway: If you want to plan ahead, it’s smart to save about $2,000 for each child for summer day camp in Lakewood. This will help you be ready when your kids are old enough for camp!

(daycamps have risen above and beyond inflation in the past few years. Hopefully they will stabilize but you really can't budget what it will be in 5 years)
