Food spoils quickly in the summer heat. If you send a lunch or snack with your child, be sure to keep it cold with a frozen juice or cold pack. It is very important that children get plenty of fluids during the warm summer days. Be sure they will have access to water where ever they go, and send a long a water bottle just to be sure. If the camp takes children to large amusement parks or events, ask if children are supervised at all times or left on their own for periods of time.
Severe weather can happen quickly during the summer time.
Make sure your child knows how to get a hold of you in case of an emergency. Injuries are common during the summer time. In the state of Colorado, most summer camps are required to be licensed by the Colorado Department of Human Services.
