Our New Camp Guide and Business Listings with Improved Search & Features
Last fall, we asked our readers to take a short survey and share their thoughts about how to improve our Summer Camp Guide. Overwhelmingly, we heard that you wanted a combination of our editorial recommendations, plus the ability to search listings and find recommendations from other parents.
So we're happy to debut our newly updated Camp Guide and our Camp Directory, now featuring an improved search, parent reviews and star ratings, and other enhancements. Even better: Our overhauled Directory isn't just for camps. We have listings for party places and services, and enriching classes, too.
Read on to find out more or head straight to our Day Camp Guide and Directory to browse the listings and leave reviews for your favorite programs.

Our Improved Search
We've added keyword search and pick-up locations for day camps
In addition to being able to search our listings by type of program or service, location and age, we added a keyword search. We even have a special search feature just for summer camps that lets you see which programs pick up in your area.
Reviews & Ratings
Give your opinion and hear from other parents like you
While we curate the camps we highlight on our site, we understand the value of hearing from families who have first-person experience with a particular program. Now you can get both. Help improve this resource for yourself and other parents by leaving reviews and star ratings for the programs you love, and see what other parents have to say about the ones you're interested in.
More Features, More Listings
350 businesses and counting
And that's not all. We've added photo galleries, maps and videos to our listings (when available) so you can find out more. Plus, we now have share buttons so you can email or Tweet about a program. Don't see a specific camp you love? Let us know and we'll try to add it.
We hope you find our new Business Directory and Camp Guide useful. Remember, this is just the beginning. We'll continue to add more businesses in the coming months and years! If you have any feedback about our new Directory, feel free to email us. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
Shari Simpson
Shari Simpson has Anna Fader and Mommy Poppins to thank for learning to appreciate her own state. Before she started editing Mommy Poppins NJ, Shari dragged her spawn into NYC for any type of "culture"; now she knows all the good stuff to be had in New Jersey and is not so fast to hop on that PATH train. In her other life, Shari is a comedic playwright ("Maybe Baby, It's You", Dramatic Publishing, Inc.), a humor blogger ("Earth Mother just means I'm dusty"), and a freelance writer. She is mother to four (two human, two pug) and resides in Hoboken, where she can be found jogging along the waterfront or dragging her Brownie troop of 30 crazy little girls around town.
You can also follow Shari on Google+.
