2023 North Sound Summer Camps and Programs Guide

Parents Guide to Choosing the Best Summer Camp for your Children

By Holly Lewis February 9, 2023

Planning where to send our children once school is out isn't always as easy as it seems! With so many factors to consider, Macaroni KID has compiled a list of considerations that are guaranteed to help you in your search for the perfect summer camp for your children. 

When selecting a summer camp, it's important to find the right fit. 

Consider the following: 

  1. Location - Is the camp easily accessible from your home or place of employment? If you can find something local, it will cut down on your commute time and easily converge into your current schedule. 
  2. Duration - Does the camp schedule match your availability or will you have to secure transportation to and from the camp? 
  3. Special Interests - Seek out a camp that caters to your child's interests. Many camps offer different themes every week, while others are specialized to a specific category. Choosing a camp based on your child's interests will ensure that they stay engaged over the course of the summer.  
  4. Age Group - Does the camp have an appropriate age range? The larger the age bracket the less your child will benefit from the overall experience. 
  5. Cost - Having the ability to compare camp offerings based on price will help you select the best camp that fits your budget.
  6. Reviews - Does the camp have great reviews? Has someone you known recommended them? This is an important aspect when selecting who will be taking care of our children for any course of time.
  7. Registration Date - We've saved the best for last! Knowing what date camps begin registration is ESSENTIAL. There's nothing worse than missing out on a registration period or finding out that the camp is FULL. If you're considerations are based primarily on location, set a reminder on your calendar to register so you don't miss out on the camp of your choosing. 

Let' be honest! At the end of the day, we just want our children to attend a camp that provides them with a safe environment where they can try new things, nurture their unique interests, meet new friends, stretch their creativity, and have tons of summer fun!
