Attending a summer camp is about more than having some time away from one's parents. Attending summer camp can be a formative experience. When it comes to choosing a summer camp for your child, you want to make sure you choose the right one.
There are actually lots of different types of camps, which is why you need to carefully plan in order to figure out the right camp for your child. Here are some things you should consider.
#1: Day Camp or Sleepaway Camp
First, you need to decide if you want to send your child to a day camp or to a sleepaway camp. Day camp is great if you want to keep your child close to home. Also, if your family has other obligations and activities you want to do during the evenings and weekends, then a day camp may be the best choice. Depending on where you live, there may be lots of great day camps with fulfilling activities for your child.
Another choice is to send your child to a sleepaway camp. Sleepaway camps can be as short as a week or last as long as eight weeks. Sleepaway camps offer entirely different experiences than day camps. At a sleepaway camp, in addition to the primary activities that happen during the day, your child will learn how to be away from home. They will learn how to speak up for their needs. They will learn relationships building skills with other campers. If you want your child to build life skills this summer, then a sleepaway camp may be a better choice.
#2: Specialty or Traditional Camp
The second choice you need to make is if you want to send your child to a traditional day camp or to a specialty camp.
Traditional summer camps are usually a mixture of sports, arts, crafts, and various outdoor events. Traditional camps try to provide a variety of fun activities for the children attending them. There may be a theme that guides each week of camp.
Specialty summer camps usually focus on a specific skill. A soccer camp, coding camp, or science-themed camp are all examples of specialty camps. A specialty camp works best if your child has a strong interest in something.
You can use a specialist camp to help your child develop a skill they are interested in or already strong at. Or you can use a specialty camp to teach your child to develop a new skill.
