What the parents say
See why busy Austin families trust Recess to handle the hard part of finding camps and activities.
"I used to spend entire evenings researching summer camps. With Recess, I answered a few questions and got a personalized list within 48 hours. It felt like having a friend who actually knows every camp in Austin."
"As a working dad with two kids in different age groups, coordinating schedules was a nightmare. My Recess assistant found camps that worked for both kids during spring break. Total game-changer."
