| Day or overnight
camp? Think about travel time. |
| How many weeks? |
| What are your goals? |
| What are your child’s
goals? |
| General program or
specialty program? |
| What is your budget? |
| Get a directory of
participating camps so you can contact
them if you miss their booth. |
| |
| Set out to visit
those camps’ booths. |
| |
| Look for the ACA-accredited
camp logo! It's important! For additional
information, log on to www.acane-camps.org/camp/accreditation.php |
| Look carefully at
display materials. Examine photographs,
watch videos, slides and/or DVDs |
| |
| Take the chance to
interview camp directors and other administrators. |
| Listen to camp representatives
talking with your child. |
| Listen to conversations
camp representatives have with other
children and adults. |
| |
| Only take printed
material for camps that are real possibilities
for your children. Arriving home with
a big pile of brochures can be overwhelming
(especially when you will end up recycling
or throwing away most of them)! |
| If you have a camp
fair directory, you will have the contact
information for all camps represented.
You can visit their Web sites or request
material at a later time if you want
it. |
