There is no shortage of choices when it comes to sending your child to summer camp. There are scout camps, music camps, sports camps, technology camps and church camps to name a few. How do you narrow the choices down to the one that is right for your child and your family?
Start by deciding whether a day camp or an extended stay camp is right for your needs and the needs of your child. Some things to consider when making this decision are the age of the child, whether the child has spent time away from you before, and the family's summer plans.
Once this decision has been made start narrowing the choices by considering your child's interest, distance of the camp from home, and cost of the camp. Much of this information can be obtained by visiting websites or asking other parents in your area who have children with similiar interest.
Now that you have developed a short list of camps that meet the needs of your family, consider visiting these camps. Remember that what appears great in pictures, may not be. If this isn't possible, a phone call to the camp may assist in finding out valuable information as well.
