		<description>Hi Natalie,

Thanks for all the information about the piano camp. I&#039;d love to offer them too but just feel hopeless!

Your families must be super flexible and really devoted to piano. 

In our area, summer camps were settled in January. Half day camps (8-1) are ok for kinders, but 2-hour a day to many families here would be very difficult. It&#039;s not really long enough that the parents can do something major, but short enough that they may not want to make the drive. 

Besides, they will have to schedule other camp in the same day so the kids are being &quot;kept&quot; somewhere by someone. The 2-hour schedule definitely would be great for preschooler age, but my students are older. 

I am envious that you could do this in your studio!</description>
