01/29/2006 Busy Parents Turn to Free Online Guide for 4th year
January 29, 2006 BUSY PARENTS TURN TO FREE ONLINE SUMMER CAMP GUIDE FOR 4TH YEAR Scottsdale, Arizona. Summer has a way of creeping up on parents. Before they know it, it is time to plan activities for the summer break. CampsAtoZ.com, currently in its fourth year, lets them plan now. The convenient online guide to kids’ summer activities provides a comprehensive listing of summer camps throughout Arizona and, for the first time, California. It is free to parents and requires no registration. For busy parents, CampsAtoZ.com is the answer to a prayer – one-stop shopping for summer activities. CampsAtoZ.com includes hundreds of listings for camps that satisfy almost any interest. Camps found in the guide include both day and overnight camps for children from pre-K to eighteen and they run the gamut from basketball and gymnastics to forestry and weight loss camps. Using the site’s built-in search engine, parents can easily locate a camp that matches their child’s age and interests. In response to an enthusiastic demand for camps outside Arizona, CampsAtoZ’s creator Julia James expanded the listings this year to include the state of California. “California and Arizona are so close to each other,” she commented, “that many families divide their summer between the two states. It only makes sense to make Californians aware of Arizona camps and vice-versa. Now, parents can get their children into camp in either state just by accessing CampsAtoZ.com.” Over the last three years, CampsAtoZ.com.com has listed hundreds of the best and most interesting camps available throughout Arizona, enabling parents to find fun summer experiences anywhere in the state. Each year, the website receives high praise and numerous e-mails from relieved parents, many of whom use CampsAtoZ.com several times over the season. Now as CampsAtoZ.com begins its fourth full year of operation, it is listing more camps than ever. The camps include special needs, athletics, educational, religious, and many other themes. With so many camps listed, no child should have to utter that all-too-frequent summer complaint, “Mom, I’m bored!” The idea for CampsAtoZ.com originated with Julia James, President of Corfe Marketing Group who, having spent countless hours searching for summer activities for her own family, discovered that other parents faced the same situation. Determined to create an easy-to-use central source of camp information, she developed CampsAtoZ.com and introduced it in February 2003. “CampsAtoZ.com is a solution for every parent who needs to find fun and more positive activities to occupy their children during the summer,” she commented. Corfe Marketing Group, a woman-owned business, is a Scottsdale marketing consulting boutique. Owner Julia James has an MBA in marketing and over twenty years of experience in marketing. Her expertise includes market research and marketing communications in medical products, consumer goods and consulting.
