I've been struggling to find a good, comprehensive list of summer camps in the area. I've put together one that covers lots of topics and a variety of locations and hours. I've included some sleepaway camps in the Elementary and above levels. As I come across others, I'll be adding to the list.

Traffic woes again... June will be even worse than you thought!
According to the Back-Seat Driver article in the Bee, you really should just stay home the entire month of June. Take a staycation, telecommute or just crawl in bed and cry because driving anywhere will be a nightmare.
As we've previously noted, the Fix I-5 project will cause major traffic delays throughout town. You can also add to that:
*Work on the Howe Avenue Bridge, with lane closures M-F 8:30am to 4pm
*Closing West El Camino at Northgate to rebuild the bridge. Why do you care? These people will be rerouted to Arden-Garden, one of the major diversions for the I-5 project.
*Replacing the median barrier on the Cap City freeway. This is supposed to take place at night but as with any construction project, there are leftovers in the morning. There will be traffic signs, cones etc. and the lookey-loos will slow down even more.
If you don't have a plan... you'd better find one. You have 16 days!

How will you get to work?
In case you haven't noticed the big, blinking signs on local freeways, the Fix I-5 Project is about to begin. If you don't have a backup plan, you need one now.
According to the project schedule press release, beginning Friday, May 30th at 8pm, all northbound lanes of I-5 from the interchange to Richards will be closed. Yes... closed. As in, NO you can't go that way. Friday, June 13th at 8pm, the reverse will happen and all southbound lanes (except 2 lanes for J Street exiting only) will be closed.
This is going to make a major mess of downtown. Even if you usually don't drive anywhere near I-5, your routes to work will be more crowded. Please make sure you have an alternate route worked out. If you can, talk to your boss about working an alternate schedule, biking, telecommuting or simply going on vacation!
