Is it too early to be talking about summer camps when there is snow on the ground? You’d think.

But if you are a Colorado Springs parent, this episode might just save your summer.

In this episode, we break down our favorite local summer camps, from affordable outdoor programs, to creativity-fueled options, to adventure-packed favorites, and more. We talk honestly about cost, timing, what fills up fast, what opens later, and which camps are actually worth your time and money.

If you feel overwhelmed by all the options, worried you missed the boat, or just want trusted local recommendations, this episode does the research for you.

Plus, our Pick of the Week is a new kid-friendly coffee shop that might become your new go-to work and play spot.

Parents, planners, procrastinators, and everyone in between, this one is for you.
