Be sure to ascertain if there will be additional costs if your child attends camp. Camp uniforms, transportation, the cost of visiting your child, spending money and charges for trips are all something that should be taken into consideration. Most of all consider that a positive camp experience will affect other areas of your child s life. A few extra dollars could make the difference between a positive or negative camp experience for your child. If your child has a negative experience, the loss will be much more than what you ve saved.
Summer camps vary in size.
Some take only a few children while others make take up to five hundred. Often, smaller camps provide a closer atmosphere. The staff and children get to know each other quickly. At times, large camps divide the children into small groups. This provides the same type of experience as a smaller camp.
