How it works

Find the right camps for your kid — in minutes.
Most parents spend hours researching summer camps. We built something that does it in 3 minutes.

01

Pick your city

We cover Austin, Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Nashville, Chicago North Side, and Chicago North Shore — with detailed, vetted camp listings for each. More cities coming soon.

02

Tell us what your kid loves

Choose from 8 interest categories — outdoors, STEM, animals, art, performing arts, cooking, climbing, and building. Add their energy level so we can match intensity.

03

Share your school calendar

We look up your school's last and first day automatically. This anchors the plan to your real summer window — not a generic June–August.

04

AI builds your plan

Claude (Anthropic's AI) matches your child to the best available camps week by week. It weighs interests, age, registration urgency, and what's still open.

05

You see what to book first

Every camp is color-coded: Book Now, Book Soon, or Open. The plan tells you exactly which registration to open first — and why.

06

Get it in your inbox

Email yourself the full plan. We'll send reminders when camps with urgent registration are about to fill. No spam — just the alerts that matter.

Quick answers

Is it really free?

Yes. Building your plan is free. We offer an optional Camp Concierge service where we handle all the registrations for you.

How accurate is the camp data?

Our camp listings are manually researched and updated regularly. Availability is checked twice daily via an automated system. When in doubt, always verify directly with the camp.

What if my city isn't listed?

We're expanding. Email us at hello@mysummerplan.com and tell us which city you need — it helps us prioritize.

Can I use it for multiple kids?

Yes — just run the planner again for each child. Each plan is generated separately.
