I write quite a few of these editor’s letters every year. In 2025 I wrote sixteen different letters for our three different publications (Upstate Gardeners’ Journal, (585) Kids, and (585) magazine). I wonder sometimes what to say and how to connect with our readers. But at the end of the day, I think short, sweet, and simple is usually the way to go.
This philosophy also translates to family life. Sometimes we can, as parents, dive deep into rabbit holes trying to find advice about child rearing or searching for the perfect club or class. I’ve known people who have spent months calling and emailing and Googling summer camps only to find out they are full or that there is a waiting list. Our directory can save you time, I promise! Not only will you find local camps and organizations to help you figure out how the little ones will spend the summer, but it is also a nice list of area businesses that are family friendly. Happy new year and thanks for supporting local media like (585) Kids.
