I am looking for recommendations for summer camps for elementary aged boys. I'm talking for next year but I wanted to ask the question while it's fresh in minds. We don't live in Sarasota but are (still) looking for a vacation place and plan on spending next summer break down there - even if renting.

I know there is a camp at Mote which looks interesting. What else is good / fun?

Thanks!

My niece's son goes to the Boys and Girls Club every summer and he enjoys it. They do a variety of activities daily. My grandson goes to a Karate camp and really loves it. He goes there throughout the year and they have sleepovers and parties too. He even had his birhtday party there this year. Here are some other summer camps in Sarasota County, FL.

Sarasota YMCA Camps - Sarasota Family YMCA - Children?s Camps, Aquatics and Sports Camps (http://www.sarasota-ymca.org/programs/camps.cfm - broken link)

Sarasota County Parks and Recreation summer camps - Parks and Recreation

Boys and Girls Club - http://www.boysandgirlsclubs.com/

We did the Mote camp a few years ago and my girls enjoyed it. I'm thinking of having my 13 year old do the sleep away camp in the Keys through Mote, next year.

This year my 13 year old did the Busch Gardens sleep over camp for two weeks. One week was Roller Coaster camp and the next was Zoo Keeper camp. She enjoyed that but it was pricey.

In August my little one is going to try out the Sailor Circus Camp up off of Bahia Vista. That same week, in the mornings, my middle girls is going to try the water sports/beach camp at Turtle Beach and put on through the county. In the afternoons she going to go to GWIZ Science camp over at the museum.

They've also done the Historic Spanish Point camp in Osprey, which is really cool. They have different activities like doing archaeological digs, taking the kids fishing, making crafts out of things found in the environment and going to the beach.

We are currently doing the Sailing Camp with the Sarasota Youth Sailing Association. It's a 2 week day camp that meets over at the sailing club. So far, my 7 year old son is really enjoying it!
