Here are a few steps to follow as you search for the perfect summer setting for your child.
1
Begin as early as possible. Many camps start enrolling in February and fill quickly, so it helps to begin looking
early.
2
Decide what is important for you and your
child.
• Write down your needs, wants and wishes.
• What activities would most interest your child?
do you and your child want to gain from the camp
• What
experience?
• Will your child need transportation?
Can you afford the cost? Does the camp offer scholar• ships/financial
assistance/early bird discounts or multiple
•
3
child discounts?
Will the camp accept a child care subsidy voucher?
Consider different types of programs.
Camps: Children generally sleep away from
• Residential
home for one or more weeks and can enjoy day and
•
•
evening activities. The emphasis of these programs
is increasing the independence and self-help skills of
campers.
Day Camps: Campers arrive in the morning and return
home at the end of the day, having enjoyed activities and
field trips. There are some half-day options.
Specialty Camps: Campers devote a majority of their
•
4
time to one activity. The staff and facilities are geared
toward intensive experiences in activities such as music,
sports, art, science or wilderness and adventure.
Child Care Programs: Many child care programs offer
special activities and adapt their schedules to meet
the summer and track-out needs of families. Look for
programs licensed by the North Carolina Division of Child
Development and Early Education and rated 3- to 5-stars.
Choose the best camp for your child.
You can use this publication to create a list of 4-8 camps
that meet the criteria you identified in steps 2 & 3. Consider
the following questions when narrowing your search…
Is your child ready for a sleep-away experience? Be sure
your child is ready for the length of program you select.
Will the camp encourage your child to try new things?
How structured is the program? Is it flexible or highly
structured?
What size camp community will make your child feel
comfortable? Sizes can range from 30 to 500 campers.
Is the camp equipped to handle any type of special
needs your child may have? (dietary, medical, physical,
behavioral, etc.)
•
•
•
•
•
Does the camp follow American Camp Association (ACA)
• standards?
The ACA is a national association that evalu-
ates camps based on 300 health, safety areas, personnel,
transportation and administrative procedures. Not all
camps choose to be accredited. If you are interested in
a program that is not accredited you can use these
standards found at www.acacamps.org as a guide in
your selection process.
5
Visit the camp site and talk with the
director.
Do your homework and research camps ahead of time.
Some programs offer year-round activities, and it’s possible to visit before the summer actually begins.
Get to know your child’s counselors and the camp
staff.
Review the camp’s brochures, web site, videos and/or
DVD’s with your child.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. The more you know
now, the better your child’s camp experience will be.
•
•
•
6
Ask for references.
Get the names of parents with children the same age as
your child who have attended the camp. Ask them:
What did your child enjoy most about the camp?
Is there anything you did not like about the camp?
Would you enroll your child in this camp again?
May my child talk to your child about the
camp experience?

camp for your family!

Additional points to consider
Answering “yes” to most or all of these questions, will increase your child’s
chance of having a successful summer camp experience.
Is the camp licensed by the North Carolina Division of Child Development &
Early Education or accredited by the American Camp Association (ACA)?
Do the camp’s counselor: child ratios meet ACA standards? (1:5 for ages 4-5; 1:6
for ages 6-8; 1:8 for ages 9-14; 1:10 for ages 15-17)
Is the camp director experienced and hold a higher education degree?
Are camp staff members trained in safety regulations, emergency procedures,
behavior management techniques, specific procedures for supervision, and appropriate staff and camper behavior?
Are at least 80% of camp counselors 18 years of age or older?
Are there medical routines and procedures in place for emergencies?
Is there a parent-contact policy, and how is homesickness handled?
Child Care Services Association provides free referral services to families seeking
child care, technical assistance to child care businesses, and educational
scholarships and salary supplements to child care professionals.
