10 Questions To Ask When Choosing A Summer Camp Looking for a camp that will offer your child a safe opportunity to develop new skills this summer? Start with the basics: Ask the director of any camp you’re considering how long it’s been operating and what licenses it has. You should be aware, however, that state licensing requirements vary widely, and in many cases, are minimal. If the camp is accredited by the American Camp Association, you can be assured that the day camp or sleepaway camp on your list has satisfied the nonprofit organization’s more than 300 standards on health, safety, facilities, programs and staffing. But many good programs are too new or too small to get ACA accreditation, which costs money and staff time. Even an accredited camp can be a poor match for your child if the camp’s “culture” doesn’t fit his temperament. That means a parent considering any program needs to ask lots of questions. Here are 10 to ask the camp director: 1. What’s the camp’s philosophy? Is it one you’re comfortable with as a parent? Is it a good match for your child’s temperament? Is competition or cooperation emphasized? If it’s a camp run by a religious organization, what religious observances or practices are part of the 8 March 2018 | PB Parenting |

program? If you’re looking at a sports camp that touts an affiliation with a celebrity athlete, how much time — if any — will the sports star actually spend there? 2. How does the camp recruit, screen and train its staff? Do counselors have criminal background checks? First aid training? 3. How many counselors are returning this year? The ACA says at most camps, 4060 percent of the staff returns. If the number you’re given is lower, ask why. How many campers return? Fifty percent is good, and more is better. 4. What’s the ratio of counselors to campers? ACA guidelines for overnight camps call for a 1:6 ratio for ages 7 and 8, 1:8 for ages 9-14; and 1:10 for ages 15-18. Day camp guidelines call for 1:8 for children ages 6-8; 1:10 for children ages 9-14; and 1:12 for ages 15-18. 5. How old are the counselors? The ACA recommends that 80 percent of the staff be 18 or older and that all staffers be at least 16 and a minimum of two years older than the campers they supervise. 6. What medical staff work at the camp and what backup facilities are nearby? While most states have regulations for camps, there is no federal oversight

of camps’ health and safety. The ACA recommends that an overnight camp have a licensed physician or registered nurse on the site every day, and that day camps should have direct phone access. If your child takes medication, has food allergies or a chronic medical condition, be sure you are comfortable that the camp will be able to handle your child’s needs. 7. What is the camp’s approach to discipline and how does the camp handle conflicts between campers? Find out what the camp’s rules are and what breaches would result in a camper being sent home. You should be comfortable that the camp’s practices are in line with your parenting practices. 8. What does a typical daily schedule look like? This will help you decide if your child will be happy with the level of physical activity or the amount of time devoted to arts and

crafts. Ask how much freedom a child has to choose activities. 9. Will the camp be transporting the children? What vehicles are used and how often are they inspected? Who drives them and what training do drivers have? 10. Ask for references. Finally and most important, get the names of parents with children the same age who have attended the camp. While it’s true that a director is likely to give you the names of campers who had good experiences, you’ll be able to get a fuller view of the camp by asking the right questions, says ACA President Ann Sheets. “Ask ‘Is there anything you didn’t like about the camp?’ And let your child talk to their child, too,” she says.

March 24, 25 & 31 Make Reservations Now

DAY CAMP CHECKLIST • Sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 45 • Insect repellant wipes and/or insect repellent wristband (do not send an aerosol can of insect repellant–the spray will sting if it gets in your child’s eyes.) • Bathing suit and towel • Water bottle filled with ice-cold water • Hat • Sunglasses • Comfortable running shoes or closed-toe sports sandals WITH socks • Extra set of clothes (especially a pair of socks and shirt if they get wet from the rain) • Rain poncho (rolls up small)

• Medication: All camps should have your child’s medical information on file. Having an extra note with details in their backpack and attached to their Prescription medication and/or Epi-Pen is helpful. • Food: Most day camps will provide lunch and snacks. If you pack a lunch it should be easy to eat on the ground. A sandwich (avoid peanut butter since most camps are nut-free), fruit and a juice box or water makes for a healthy lunch. Granola bars make an excellent snack. Some camps may have snack bars or vending machines. Notify the camp of any food allergies your child may have. Optional: • Change purse with $1-$2 for snacks • Benadryl cream for itchy mosquito bites

Summer Vacation Travel Tips Summer Vacation season will be here before you know it! Traveling with children in tow can sometimes be a headache! Here are some travel tips to help make your summer vacation travel smoother from veteran traveler and cofounder of Hotels.com, Bob Diener. • Try to travel when lines and airports are not busy so you are not rushed with children. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays are the best days to travel. The lines are shorter and fares may be cheaper. • Bring plenty of snacks. Avoid being stuck with no food while stalled on the runway or when stores are closed and the kids get hungry. • Kids under 2 fly free in the US—this is a great bargain. But be careful outside the US! Most carriers charge at least 10% of the fare for kids. • Never pay extra for kids! Every hotel has a different policy regarding allowing kids to stay free—some as high as 19 years old! • Be careful of parking, Wi-Fi and other charges – find properties that offer these for free. • Many hotels offer free food for kids – this adds up.

12 March 2018 | PB Parenting |

• Find a vacation rental property that can accommodate the entire family and comes with a kitchen – so you don’t have to pay for expensive restaurants. • Always remember to charge video games, iPads, iPods, cell phones and other electronic games the night before a trip. These can keep the kids happy and occupied the entire trip. Traveling with a Baby or Toddler? • Consider a suite hotel where you will have 2 rooms, often for the price of one. You can talk, watch TV, etc., while the baby is not bothered in the other room. • Don’t put the essentials like wipes and diapers in checked luggage – you need these with you. • Parents often make the mistake and assume they can find diapers, baby wipes and other supplies. Bring your own supplies and enough for the trip. You don’t want to be switching formula or scrambling for wipes. • Don’t be stressed about having the baby with you. The baby usually takes the cue from the parent and if the parent is calm, the baby is often calm.

WHEN ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S SERIOUS. Sometimes it can be difficult to know when a trip to the emergency department is necessary. If you or your child exhibit any of the following warning signs take immediate action.

trouble breathing

Dizziness, passing out, fainting Severe Pain anywhere in body Suddenly not able to speak, see, walk or move

Possible broken bone

Seizures

Severe headache

High fever

Severe allergic reaction with swelling, hives Coughing or throwing up blood Source: medlineplus.gov/ency/patientinstructions/000593.htm
