ACA camps are trying to get the message across that you can't wait until April or May to decide on a camp for your son or daughter. Early registration discounts through December. Free T-shirts if registered by February 15 with all fees paid by May 15. South Parents can expect early-bird opportunities for summer camp in Texas and Oklahoma to begin in January. Often private camps start early registration in the fall.
Camps seem to be filling their registrations earlier each year.
Thousands of camps across the country are available from which to choose, but you must make your plans early. Contact a camp with your questions and find out their suggested times for registration. It's never too early to be thinking about giving the gift of camp to your child. Founded in 1910, the American Camping Association is a national organization of camp professionals and is dedicated to a firm belief that the camp experience enriches lives and changes the world. ACA is the only organization that accredits all types of camps based upon 300 standards for health and safety.
