Memphis Parent has a HUGE event coming up near the end of this month, and I am so looking forward to it that I can barely contain my excitement.
We will be hosting our first-ever Memphis Parent CAMP EXPO!! (I hope you read that the way that I said it in my head as I type . . . like Oprah!) This free event will be held on March 24th at the Memphis Botanic Garden from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. We will have camp representatives present for overnight and day camps and so much more. Meanwhile, this is an awesome camp guide issue of Memphis Parent. It is chock-full of stories and information. As you peruse the magazine, please take note of all the wonderful ads about where you could possibly send your child for summer camp. Also, I hope you enjoy and find helpful the numerous stories in our camp guide section beginning on page 18 introducing you to new camps in Memphis and ways to aid in helping make that transition to camp even smoother, like what to pack for overnight and day camps. But before we get to summer, we have to make our way through spring. We have a list of some spring break camps to keep the kiddos busy for a few days; look for it in our #901Fun section starting on page 6. And of course, as always, check out our award-winning calendar and events section for great family fun all month long. Also, meet our first-ever reader-nominated Memphis Parent Outstanding Teacher, featured on page 38. Please come to the Memphis Parent Camp Expo, tell your friends, and come by our booth to say hello! MP staff members and I would love to meet you. Our camp guide is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg of what you’ll be exposed to at the 2018 Memphis Parent Camp Expo.
Happy Parenting!
