We’re fast approaching a child’s favorite time… when School is OUT and Summer is IN! It’s almost time for your child to trade their textbooks for tan lines so they can have fun in the sun.
And with Summer comes Summer Camp! But do you know where your child is headed for the summer months?
The best places will foster your child’s natural curiosities and passions. Here’s how to find a summer camp your child will love!
- Look for a Structured and Engaging Program
The best summer camps have the right balance of structure and freedom. So look for programs that offer a variety of activities, allowing your child to explore new interests. You want your child to be in a camp that keeps kids engaged with fun themes, hands-on learning, and group activities that encourage teamwork and friendship.
- Ensure a Safe & Supportive Environment
School may be out, but safety is always in. Make sure your camp has a welcoming and inclusive environment so that your child feels safe and welcome.
You can also check to make sure your chosen camp has:
- Trained staff
- Proper licensing
- Clear safety produces
- Low camper-to-staff ratios
- Background-checked counselors
- CPR-certified employee
- What Are People Saying?
Don’t just take our word for it… See what people are saying! You can find reviews for different camps on their website, Facebook, Google Business, Yelp and more! The more 5-star reviews, the better.
- Think About Logistics
It’s all fun and games… until it isn’t. Is the location convenient for your family? Do they have extended hours that are compatible with your schedule? Do you have to sign up for the whole summer, or is there flexibility for family vacations? Think about the costs and if there are any sibling discounts. You’ll want to choose a camp that fits into your and your family’s routine.
- Pick a Camp That Fosters Growth & Learning
Summer Camp may be fun first, but that doesn’t mean your child has stopped learning! This is the perfect time for them to develop new skills, build confidence, and make lasting memories. The best summer camps will encourage independence, creativity, social development and a lifelong love of learning!
