Choosing a Summer Camp

By: Jeff Lorenz

With over 6,000 <a href='http://www.swiftnaturecamp.com'> Summer Camps</a> in the United States, finding the RIGHT camp can be a difficult task. So start doing your research.
<BR><BR>Start searching for a camp at least a year before you enroll. This gives you the chance to actually visit the camps that you are considering while they are in session. This way you can view the camp facilities, but also the campers. Thus, giving you a chance to get a feel for the program and its personality. Few plan this far in advance, so don't lose hope. You should start by late fall or early winter. Some summer camps fill up quickly and may be full by spring.
<BR><BR>Even if you think that you have already decided, it is always a good choice to take a look at other programs before making a commitment, so that you can compare different programs.
<BR><BR>Some ways to find camps include: Word of Mouth, Churches or Synagogues, Library, Newspapers & Magazines, Local Camp Fairs and Private Camp Adviser's. However the most popular theses days is the internet. . By using google and typing the summer camp plus the state a huge array of camp listings will show up. Camp directories are another way to find a summer camp. These have many camps listed and a short overview of each camp. However, one of the best is American Camp Association or in the Midwest I'd look at CampsRUs.com
<BR><BR>Get a check list from summercampadvice.com it will help you keep your goals in mind. Then start your search . Once you have narrowed your search to five or so possibilities, then get the information. In addition to printed materials, most private camps also have a promotional video. .
<BR><BR>Try to make a journey to camp while they are in session.You will learn the most through talking and seeing what camp is really like. Call and ask the Camp Director for a toure and most will even invite you for lunch. If you can, review the camp's promotional materials beforehand so you have good questions and might even have specific areas you want to see.
