It’s time to start thinking about those summer plans for your kids! This guide has something for everyone! We encourage you to work through this list and contact those camps you are interested in – many have already opened registration. Let’s make it a great summer, Flagstaff mamas! 

Please Note :: Before we dive into this comprehensive camp list, we have to start by giving our sincerest of thank yous to our camp sponsor who made this guide possible. Please check out Q&A Kids Boutique

At Q&A Kids Boutique, we love all things kids! We’ve searched for unique options for your kids not only in clothing but accessories too! Our fashion and store is inspired by babies and toddlers who want a unique look that they aren’t going to find everywhere. 
After having my second baby, I wanted my kids to wear items that you wouldn’t find everywhere or go out and see another child in the same outfit.  I’ve put in my research time and found unique brands, styles, and shops to work with to succeed that goal.  Our products are top of the line without having to pay the hefty boutique prices.
Q&A Kids Boutique is exclusively online but we are present at several events around Flagstaff and even offer to host a pop-up show in your home.  If you are interested in hosting a show in your home with your friends and family, contact me today to find out more! Exclusive benefits are available to the host!
