SUMMER CAMP TOUR

Deciding on which of the hundreds of overnight summer camps is best for your youngster is a big decision.
![Page 3: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
From camp fees to activities and camper-to-counselor ratio,
there’s a lot for you and your future camper to consider, and
one of the best ways to find the best fit for your child is to go
on a few summer camp visits.

FIRST HAND
![Page 5: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Ideally, you’ll be able to visit when camp
is in session. This will give you more
than the standard tour of facilities, fields, waterfront, bunk houses and dining hall.

It’s great to check out the layout of the
place, but wandering through when other
campers are there gives a far better feel
for the overall vibe of the camp.

Your youngster will get to meet kids his
own age who attend and get a taste of
the summer’s activities.

Many camps hold camp fairs to meet
with representatives and take a tour,
while some hold prospective camper
sleepover weekends.

CAMP LADIES
![Page 10: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
If you find the whole decision a
bit overwhelming, you can seek
out the assistance of a camp
consultant, a sort of recruiter
who provides services free to
parents and is paid by the camps themselves.
![Page 11: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
These “camp ladies” can help
you sort through the type of
camp you’re interested in,
distance, fees and the specific
needs or interests of your child.

Life Changer
![Page 13: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
More than just the best sports facilities,
canoes and overnight camping trips,
choosing the right summer camp can
actually be a life-changing experience for your child.
![Page 14: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Think about it this way: When you send
your kid off to college, it’s for four years,
while returning summers at camp can
span more than twice that time.
![Page 15: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Life-long friends and cherished memories
form during those magical summers; just
look at the alumni sites and gatherings
from summer camps! It’s like boarding
school or college – only more fun!

Listen to Your Child
![Page 17: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Go with your instincts and listen carefully to your child’s comments during or after a camp visit.
![Page 18: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
After all, it’s your youngster who will be summering
there, not you! Get to know the staff a little and ask
what’s special about each camp.
![Page 19: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Legacy
Connection
![Page 20: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
For parents who attended
sleepaway camp as a child, the decision is often a no-brainer.
![Page 21: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
If you have an attachment to your
childhood camp, you may have
brought your kids along with you to
reunions and they may already be
excited about attending.
![Page 22: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Putting Your Mind At Ease
![Page 23: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Many parents find that visiting camp with their kids
ahead of time eases a lot of that separation
anxiety (for you!) when kids are dropped off for
one or two months out in the wilderness.
![Page 24: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Once you’ve met the director, the staff and some
of the kids, you’ll have a much better feel for what
the upcoming summer months would be like for
your little camper.
![Page 25: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ask as many questions as you want, and you’ll
find most camp personnel more than helpful in
addressing your concerns.

The Other Green Stuff
![Page 27: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
With some camp fees topping the price of college
tuition twenty years ago, you’ll want to get the most
bang – and fun – for your money ...
![Page 28: Overnight summer camp tour](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013119/5790766b1a28ab6874b92fda/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
... and summer camp visits can give you a first-
hand look behind the glossy brochure and website
photos. It’s only sensible to investigate any
possible investment!
