Parents' Guide to Choosing the Right Summer Camp

$19.00

How to Choose the Right Summer Camp is a thoughtful, research-informed guide for parents navigating one of childhood’s most meaningful—and often overwhelming—decisions.

Rather than offering rankings, age rules, or one-size-fits-all advice, this guide helps families slow down and choose with confidence, clarity, and care.

Drawing on decades of professional experience in the camp and youth development world, this guide walks parents through:

  • The different types of camps and what each offers

  • How to think about readiness, hesitation, and independence

  • What questions truly matter when evaluating programs

  • Key considerations around safety, staffing, accessibility, and inclusion

  • Practical guidance for logistics, preparation, and supporting homesickness

  • How to make camp work for your unique child and family

This guide is not about finding a “perfect” camp or eliminating uncertainty. It’s about making an informed, values-aligned decision—one that honors both your child’s growth and your role as a parent.

Whether you’re considering day camp, overnight camp, or a first step into time away from home, How to Choose the Right Summer Camp offers a grounded perspective, reassurance, and a clear path forward.
