Some camps have cubbies or lockers for this. Talk to your child s counselor about likes and dislikes. Beware of overstuffing backpacks. They get heavy and can become a nuisance. Take a look at the camp before it begins to see if setting is appropriate.
Parents can usually make appointments with Directors in the Spring.
If a camp is affiliated with a non-specialized camp, inquire as to when the campers will be together. Don t be afraid to ask specificquestions. The more you and your child know, the better the camp experience will be. Sometimes the best references for a camp are previous campers. Camps should be able to provide references.
