Summer camp sounds simple… until you’re the one planning it.

In this episode, we turn summer camp into a game show—because honestly, it kind of is one. From half-day camps that don’t cover your workday to last-minute cancellations and the never-ending logistics of childcare, we break down the real mental load behind “just signing your kids up for camp.”

Then we shift from chaos to solutions:

  • Why summer camp planning feels so overwhelming
  • The assumptions parents get wrong every year
  • What happens when camps fall through (and they will)
  • A surprisingly freeing way to divide the mental load with your partner
  • Simple systems that make summer actually manageable

If you’ve ever felt like summer planning is a full-time job… you’re not wrong.
