The (Many) High Costs of Summer Camp
About this episode
The episode discusses the high costs and complexities of finding summer care for children and its impact on families and educational equity.
Today on AOTA Shorts: For those in the AOTA family with kids, this comes as no surprise, but the process of finding good summer care for children can be cumbersome to navigate, unnecessarily complex, and insanely expensive. A new piece in the 19th profiles American moms who handle these complex arrangements for their children, and the real costs of providing summer care. It reveals the extent to which families are burdened, and children receive vastly unequal access to enrichment, learning, and meaningful developmental experiences over the summer months. And even though this is outside of the purview of school, the effects ripple well into the school year. Manuel and Jeff discuss!
