With so many programs and organizations, selecting a camp can be overwhelming. To whittle this list down, parents should think about both their goals as well as their child’s interests. Different programs have different focuses. For example, adults may want their children to explore their faith by learning more about their religion whereas other parents may want to encourage their child’s musical talents.

Next, it is important to consider the cost and length of the program. Some parents only want their children gone for a short time because of a family reunion, birthday, or vacation whereas other parents don’t mind if the child is gone all summer. Involving children in the research and decision-making process is smart. After all, kids should have some interest in the camp. Children can explain what they are looking for: if they want a single-gender environment or specific activities, among other criteria. Some kids will want to go to drama or arts camp whereas others will want to learn archery or spend the summer outside playing sports.
