Picking the right camp can be a daunting task.
Younger children require a higher ratio of counselors than older kids.
Look for 40 to 60 percent returning staff. Check where they are located in relation to one another and ask about their night security procedures. Food storage, preparation and dining areas should meet state health and food service codes. Ask to see sample menus and dining schedules. Make sure the camp s philosophy complements your parenting philosophy and your child s personality.
