I'm a single parent and my son is going to be attending a day camp this summer. He's an active kid -- always on the go -- so finding a camp that maintains structure while offering a variety of fun activities was tops on my list. Finding a camp that meets your criteria, is safe and well-staffed, and is beneficial for your child isn't an easy task. Especially when it also needs to be affordable. Here are some tips on
choosing the best day camp for your child:
- Talk to your child and ask what he/she is interested in.
- Visit the camp in advance -- see what the grounds are like and meet with the counselors.
- Ask questions about camp policies, what items your child will need, and what the daily schedule will be like.
Summer day camps are a good way to foster your child's interests and encourage him/her to be physically active. I think my son is going to have a great time this summer. His camp has daily swims, team sports, hikes, arts and crafts, and other games. It's reassuring to know your kids are having fun and are well cared for while you're at work.
