Choose the perfect camp for your kid

Choosing a summer camp can seem like a daunting task. There are literally thousands to choose from, and even when the programs appear similar, each camp has its own personality. Summer camps have a significant impact on a child's life. It is important for parents to learn how to make an informed decision when choosing a camp. Many issues must be considered before locating the perfect camp. Careful planning will ensure that your child's summer camp is enjoyable and memorable. Keep the below points before enrolling your child’s name in any summer camp.


List the goals and activities you and your child want to gain from summer camp. There is a wide range of camps available, such as athletic camps, religious camps, academic camps, adventure camps and fantasy camps to name a few. Start with an evaluation of your child's needs and your family's requirements.

Create a short list of only 4 or 5 camps that meet these criteria. Look for reasons to exclude each camp from your short list. Request brochures’s from each of the selected camps and speak to their staff. Visit the camp if at all possible.

Involve your child in choosing the camp. Determine the needs of your child. All children are different and all have different needs to consider. The camp you choose needs to be age appropriate and should meet the physical, emotional and mental needs of your child.


Verify who sponsors the camp. Camps are run by a variety of organizations. Camps run by municipalities or by agencies tend to be lower-cost. Private camps tend to fill-up early and are usually more expensive but may offer more number of activities.

Find out the cost of the camp. By planning ahead, many camps offer ways to assist parents with the cost of the camp. There are also many camps available that are free if the child or family meets certain requirements.

If your child has medical issues such as asthma or seizures make sure there are medical personnel at the camp who can properly care for your child in case of an emergency. Find out what their medical emergency policy is and what hospital would be used if an emergency took place.
