The first step to getting accepted into a camp is having an initial interview with the director or staff. This is also where parents get to meet the staff and get an idea of how well their child will be taken care of while away at camp. The best way to prepare for this is by practicing interviewing with your child ahead of time. Have them come up with questions they want to be answered by their potential peers and use this as a chance to practice asking questions without sounding too nosy or pushy.
