I’ve had kid(s) for a decade and a half now, and I’m still surprised how early registration opens up for things… like summer camp. Guess I know what I’m researching this evening.
@heyloura My wife and I used to start a speadsheet for summer camps the first week of January to allign all the sign ups, start/end dates, costs, etc.
We called it Summer Camp Tetris.
@patrickrhone this is great! I feel like my wife and I have tried this but fail A LOT! However, I give her the most credit as the master scheduler in our household. However, maybe this might help as it seems now we just add things as we go as it isn’t as big of a rush right away but something else comes up and then it is searching calendars.
@ericmwalk Well, it certainly helped us for many years. Especially when needed to plan around Beatrix’s circus schedule or figure out pairing two half-day camps to make it a whole day (often with a logistical move between). Plus, then we could take those sign up opening dates/times and put them on the calendar as many fill up in minutes after the registration opens.
