THEIR FAVORITE TIME of the year is approaching. Released from the death-grip clutch of school that enslaves their social life and free time, for three months kids are going to sleep in late, chase the ice-cream man around the block and walk around the house in their dripping-wet bathing suit. Don’t want to follow them around all day with a mop? We understand. You need your poolside lounge days too. That’s why we put together a list of local summer camps that will keep those summer-crazed kids occupied and out of the house.
