It always seems so early that now is the time to plan for summer camp. But indeed, February is the time to begin signing your kids up for summer camp.

So with that in mind, we're launching our Go Ask Mom camp database! Here you can search and sort through more than 200 track-out and summer camps across the region. Click here for the list!

And ... from my inbox ... some of the upcoming summer camp registration schedules:

  • From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 19, Durham Parks and Recreation will accept applications for its Summer Day Camp Programs. Participants must register in person at the site of their choice. And because of the high demand for summer camp slots at Edison Johnson Recreation Center (EJRC), a lottery will be conducted to distribute camp slots. Lottery forms are available at EJRC (500 W.
