Most summer camps ask that parents do not tip the staff. A simple thank you is more than enough. If families do want to thank the organization, it is generally recommended that they donate directly to the organization rather than hand money or gifts to the staff.

Many programs will have ways for parents to be involved during the year: community service and fundraising events are common. Additionally, parents can write testimonials for other families considering the summer camp. Children who connected with the program’s staff can always write letters and even use social networking websites like Facebook to stay in touch. Parents should talk to the Camp Director to figure out how to best thank the organization and staff for all of their hard work.
