MAKING MEMORIES AT A TIME ONE CAMPSITE MAKING MEMORIES AT A TIME ONE CAMPSITE

1. Focus on your child’s expectations

You probably want to send your child to a summer camp they’ll enjoy. Therefore, it’s important to find out what types of activities your child likes or wants to try. For example, do they want to learn another language, develop their cooking skills, improve their gymnastics or participate in outdoor activities? Answering these questions will help you find a camp that’s well suited to their interests.

2. Establish your selection criteria

On top of finding a camp that offers interesting activities, it’s important to choose one that’s within your budget, time frame and geographical area. In addition, you may want to look for a camp that caters to your child’s unique needs and dietary restrictions.

3. Do your research

Once you know exactly what you’re looking for, do your research to compile a list of summer camps that might be a good fit. If you're looking for a camp near you, your local newspaper is a great place to start.

You can also visit summercamps.com to find overnight summer camps across the United States. This website allows you to refine your search based on the state you live in and the types of activities your child is interested in. You can also search the internet to find private camps that meet your criteria.

4. Evaluate your options

To learn more about the summer camps you're interested in, visit their websites and social media accounts. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact the camp directly for more information. Remember to ask your child for their input and be prepared to make some compromises, especially if it’s their first experience.

5.

Tour the camp

Some camps offer free tours, either by appointment or at an open house. Find out if any of the camps on your short list offer this option. In fact, touring the property can help you plan your child's future stay and ease any fears you or your child may have.

Finally, remember that it’s important to start looking for camps as soon as possible. Overnight summer camps are popular, and spots tend to fill up quickly.

HOW CHILDREN CAN HAVE

memorable summer camp experiences

As hours of sunlight increase, thoughts may turn to summer vacation. For many children, summer vacation wouldn’t be the same without camp.

Adults may have their own fond memories of going to summer camp when they were children because of the opportunities it presented to be independent and meet new people. Campers often bond over shared experiences, whether they are planned activities or unexpected “disasters” like a rainstorm washing out a canoe trip. That is why so many parents choose to carry on the summer camp tradition when they have their own children. However, some kids may not be ready to jump right into the summer camp lifestyle. Such youngsters may need extra reassurance and support to make the most of their time at camp. The following are some tips for making summer camp an enjoyable experience.

Plan ahead

Families can visit the camp in advance and get a lay of the land. Knowing what to expect in terms of facilities and activities can assuage some anxiety. It also will help campers hone in on what to pack and what to expect over the summer.

Try many new activities

Summer camp is about expanding boundaries and interests. Campers should sign up for many activities, including those that normally may be out of their wheelhouse. A camper may be pleased to learn that a new craft activity or a sports game piques his or her interest.

Connect with fellow campers in advance

If the camp has a social media presence, follow the camp’s posts and connect with other like-minded campers even before they arrive. Talking with others who share similar interests can help campers feel more comfortable about meeting up once they arrive at camp.

Develop a rapport with camp counselors

The saying “you only get one chance to make a first impression” extends to campers meeting camp counselors. When campers interact with counselors for the first time, they should be outgoing, polite and open to new ideas. Counselors will appreciate easy-going campers and could be good resources of useful information, such as how to score an extra dessert at mealtime.

Follow the safety rules

While campers may spread their wings a bit at summer camp when not under the watchful eyes of parents, any mischief should not come at the expense of safety. Campers should stick to the safety protocol so that camp is not memorable for the wrong reasons.

Change another camper’s experience

A camper who recognizes a fellow camper is reserved and shy can invite that person to come sit with other friends at meals or to participate in an activity. This can help build a lasting friendship and make camp that much more enjoyable for someone in need.

Summer camp season is on the horizon and campers can take several steps to foster memorable and fun experiences along the way.
