Summer is Coming!

Many families utilize their nanny's services to supplement summer camp hours. If this sounds like something you are interested in, here is a list of camps around Philadelphia. These have been loosely organized into categories. Some camps offer more than one type of activity. Half day, full day and overnight camps are included. Allo Nanny isn't personally familiar with many of these camps so please vet them before enrolling!

HOT TIP: Find out if the camp you chose is ACA (American Camp Association) accredited. ACA accreditation means camps have gone  through a peer review process. You can find ACA accredited camps using this search feature. They have great resources on camp readiness, coping with homesickness (sleep-away campers) and more!

If you are looking for a nanny for your summer care needs, sign up here for a free consultation!
