Although there is significant summer program information listed in a brochure or on a camp’s webpage, parents who want the best camp experience for their children will dramatically increase their success rate by teaming up with an experienced camp advisor.
“Our camp advisors are tasked with visiting overnight or sleep away camps..”
Our camp advisors are tasked with visiting overnight or sleepaway camps in order to know a certain camp’s personality and culture firsthand. The advisors share this value system with parents, as well as provide the director’s educational goals for campers who wish to sign up for the program. Given that camp is all about experience, parents and participants should have an idea on what kind of program a particular camp provides straight from the director, from asking former participants and making use of their own observations. Although a very rare occurrence you should know what happens when an emergency comes up? How well-equipped are the staff in handling them, and what kind of provisions and equipment are ready at hand should an accident or an unfortunate incident happen?
“A camp advisor has private knowledge of a given summer camp’s staff and their training.”
A camp advisor has private knowledge of a given summer camp’s staff and their training. Parents can and should take advantage of this information; they should speak with the advisor, who has had years of experience under their belt in matching interested overnight camp participants to the best possible summer camp program (this service is free). They wil provide with the opportunity to speak directly with the director to get to know who they are entrusting their child with. One factor that camp advisors use is evaluating the confort level parents have in turning over care of their child to the a given camp director. In addition, here are a few more – parents should ask about the past participant’s experience with the program, the itinerary, activities and camp goals to have an idea if the program is a great fit. Advisors will only recommend an excellent program with proven track records.
All of these factors are good elements that make up a great summer camp personalized for your children. The bottom line is that advisors are a fantastic resource because they have the necessary experience to know which programs they think your children will enjoy.
