It's my child's first time going to camp, will she be the only new camper?
Is there more to summer camp than just fun and games?
Religious or Agency camps (YMCA, etc) usually have the lowest rates, often because they are subsidized by their supporting agencies.
Counsellors are often a child is closest staff relationship. For that reason, counsellors tend to be in their late teens or early 20s (young enough to relate to campers, old enough to be admired as role models) and long-time campers themselves. Experienced senior staff members, with a range of expertise, support the counsellors - and often know them well at the time they are hired. In addition to the above training, most camps expect counsellors to be certified in first aid, swimming and life-saving, as well as specialty areas such as sailing or canoeing.
