The cost of summer camps for kids around Mandeville are a rip off

Most of these camps are charging around $200/wk for only 3 or 4 hours per day. I came across one camp that charged $235/wk for only 2 hours

With the rates they are charging it should be at least for the entire day.

I hate the summer b/c of summer camps and their ridiculous pricing structure. I don't see how people can afford to send their kids to these camps all summer long, especially if you have multiple children.

You you pretty much want a Mandeville camp for Slidell prices.

$200 for 3 hours? What are working parents supposed to do for the rest of the time they are at work?

They can free range it. It's Mandeville. Nothing bad is gonna happen.

Maybe my wife and I should stop working and have you and the rest of my fellow hard working Americans chip in and pay for it.

We have to set prices so high, to keep the Hammond trash out of our camps.

Half a day sucks, but 4 hours a day for 5 days at $200 is pretty damn good.

Even at 3 hours, that's $13/hour.

That's comes to $10-13/hr. I challenge you to find a babysitter that cheap. Being poor must suck.
