Summer Camps in Salisbury, MD (Fruitland: work, home, school)

[rose_d74]

I'm hoping someone out there has had some recent experience with children's day camps in the Salisbury area. My 5 year old son is attending a camp right now, but I'm not sure its the best option for his age group. The camp takes kids ages 5-13 and right now the bulk of the kids he's with are 8 -13 years old. He is the youngest (he's the only boy under age 8) and that sometimes makes it difficult for him to keep up, understand the games, join in the conversation, etc. He keeps trying though and says he likes the camp, though he is scared some of the older kids might hurt him (mostly by accident, but there is one bully in the group).

My husband and I both work full time, so we need a safe place for him to have fun all summer. We did some research and found very few camps that were all day (without an arm and a leg in extra fees for drop offs before 9 or pick ups after 3) and all summer.

Any suggestions? We're aware of the programs at the YMCA (I've heard mixed reviews), Parks and Rec and the Salisbury School's Camp Odyssey. Are there others? What have you heard or experienced with either those listed or others that I'm not aware of?

Have you looked at Flora's Fitness in Fruitland? I believe they have programs for children of all ages?

I have a 5 year old also and a 8 month old but I have decided to stay at home for now until she gets in school full time next year only because its very hard to trust anyone anymore and 5 is very young but I havent heard any good reviews about the camps for a 5 year old but have heard good things for oder children. Sorry not much help
