What should I look for in a camp?
 
    Is this helpfull?
Family circumstances and the individual interests or needs of your child will affect your choice of summer camp. For one family, day camp at a location on the route from home to work might be important; for another, a strong sports focus might be a high priority for their child; for yet another, a two-week session at a traditional residential camp that fits their budget might be a key consideration. Take the time to define your child's and your family's needs, wants and circumstances. A compatible fit is all-important.

The Our Kids Go To Camp guide has Types of camps and Information sessions and questions to ask sections of their website with more information on the many activities and programs that are available, and a list of things to consider when looking into various camps.

    Like most choices you outline the things that are most important and try to find them in the camp you choice.

    Ask the director how many of their campers are returning-campers. Anything north of 66% seems to me to be a good indication.
