Summer camp is often something kids look forward to, and somethingthey will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. But as greatan experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be justas difficult an experience if parents don’t find the right fit for theirchildren. It’s a good idea to start thinking about summer campsfor kids right away, before camps start filling out their rosters,which tends to happen in early spring. Here are a few things parentsshould take into consideration when selecting a summer camp for theirkids.

STAFF - The right summer camp staff can make all the difference.Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a summercamp, as their friends they know might not be joining them. That canmake kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic aboutthose activities. A good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome,which should help them come out of their shells and make the most oftheir summer camp experiences. It’s important that parents ask camprepresentatives about their staffs before making any commitments.Ask about the types of training staff members undergo and does thetraining include first aid and emergency medical response. It’s alsogood to ask about the vetting process the camp employs in hiringnew staff, including the extent of its background checks- criminal andotherwise. A good camp will eagerly answer all of your questions.

Things to consider BEFORE choosing

a Summer CAMPIt’s time to

start thinking aboutSUMMER CAMPS

for the kids

A DAY IN THE LIFE - When vetting camps for kids, parents should askwhat a typical day is like at camp. Many parents want their youngstersto have a well-rounded experience, while others might want theirkids to attend a more specialized camp, whether it’s a sports campfocusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kidsbecome better musicians. Regardless of the type of camp parents areconsidering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at thecamp is like. When considering specialized camps, ask if kids will havethe chance to simply have a little fun and which types of recreationalactivities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorousschedules.

CAMP GOALS - Another thing parents must consider is the goals ofeach individual camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kidshave fun, even when they are attending more specialized camps thattend to be more strict. In addition, parents should look for a camp thatwants its attendees to foster relationships with their fellow campers.Camp can be lonely for some youngsters, especially those attendingsummer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives topromote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate,any feelings of homesickness. The whole process is to ensure theiryoungsters are safe, cared for, and have as much fun as possible.
