Thanks! Are you in the Bay Area by chance? I'm Emmie, the founder. New site design to push out this weekend, please take a look again soon. (we wanted to push it out before the TC article, but it was too unstable)
My wife and I (mainly her) just finished planning for my son's first summer of camps, and it was a pain. So much so that I remarked that I should build a webapp to manage it for us and his classmates.
Thanks for building this, I can't wait to look at it.
Unfortunately, it's probably a little late to launch to target this summer. Planning has already started and been done for most. For a lot of camps, you need to put down deposits pretty early to secure a spot. But, for the couple of weeks we might need to fill in, I'll certainly take a look. (Bay Area)
Please come to the UK - my wife and I spend a remarkable amount of time trying to organize stuff to keep our son constructively occupied!
[NB One thing I would love is some way to enter into a discussion with our son about what he wants to do and to rate different options - at the moment we do this through email and printing stuff out, which is dreadful.]
Hey! Actually, I just found out that there were camps in the UK. I met an ex pro-football player who used to run his own programs in the UK from 1999-2009. I'll definitely explore expansion to the UK! I love it there, and drive a Mini :). Good points on the discussion with your child--we'll have camper profiles soon to allow for kids to bookmark their own things
From what I understand, things are a bit different here - most camps/activities are for a week or less, so for a summer holiday of 7 weeks there is a lot of time to fill and a lot of organizing to do.
looking forward to seeing the new site. i am the founder of a similar site in NY Kidklass.com. i look forward to watching you grow along with us, its important work we are both doing.
