Parents and camps gather for the 2011 Our Kids Summer Camp Expo

At the first ever Our Kids Summer Camp Expo, representatives and staff from over forty-five different summer camps filled the hall with booths equipped with beach balls, wooden cabin-like roofs, as well as frisbees, arts and crafts, and even mini-s’mores! Each camp brought it’s own slice of summer to meet with over 600 curious families, consisting of parents as well as their budding campers, whether they browsed through their options in strollers or in tightly-packed huddles of teenage friends.
