Summer camps are amazing places for children to learn new skills and discover their special talents. Here are a few tips on selecting the right camp for your children:
• Check out www.campparents.org for a listing of hundreds of possible camps.
• For your peace of mind, find an ACA accredited camp. This certification means the camp has been reviewed for over 300 standards to make sure the camp is safe and provides the highest quality camping experience for your child.
• Younger children may not understand what it means to "go to camp". See if you can visit a camp in progress so they understand what it means to be away from you while swimming, playing goofy games and idolizing their wacky counselor.
• For a child's first camp experience, consider a "traditional" camp that offers a variety of activities rather than focusing on computers or performing arts. This experience gives your child a broader camping experience.
