If you think looking for the right school is hard, try looking for the right camp. Why is it so much harder? For one, there are a ton of options (day, sleepaway, dance, art, yoga, sports, field trip, park-based, acting…) and for two, it’s harder to get to know what a camp is really like. Sure, brochures and websites give you a lot of information, but wouldn’t you like to meet the director in person?
New York Family is hosing a Camp Fair where you can meet and see the people behind a variety of day and sleepaway camps for kids ages 3 to 15 years. Bonus: your child can also see who will be directing their next camp experience.
And, if you want some guidance, there will also be people on hand from the American Camp Assn, who typically are very helpful brainstorming with parents about ideas.
Details: If people pre-register at newyorkfamilycamps.com, they guarantee a goody bag and participation in a raffle for a family vacation.
