What to Look For When Registering Your Child for Summer Camp

The idea of signing your child up for summer camp can be concerning at ﬁrst. If you’re considering signing your child up for his or her ﬁrst summer camp, you may be in for a stressful experience. You’ll want to ﬁnd a camp that’s safe, fun and ﬁts within your budget. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to take the stress out of the signup process.

Dont wait until the Last Second

Children thrive on schedules, habits & routines, which not only create a feeling of security but also help children learn self-control & focus. Talk with your child about what to expect each day. Organize the house so your child knows where to put their shoes, coats, etc. Quiet activities like reading, or completing a puzzle together can help your child slow down & increase focus.

Find the Spring/Summer Sweet Spot

Finding a happy medium between rushing to sign up on the ﬁrst day of registration, and scrambling to ﬁnd an open camp at the last second, lands you right in the heart of spring. Many camps offer early registration discounts that can extend all the way up until the end of April, with some even lasting up to the end of May. Try setting up a calendar reminder for the ﬁrst day of registration for next year. This will ensure that you’re on top of reserving your child’s spot.

Do Your Research

Don’t wait, now is the perfect time to continue researching summer camps. Use this time to plan your child’s summer experience. If summer camps are your perfect cause for childcare, you might need to start researching to make sure your child is in good hands.

It’s good to know that your child will not be stuck inside all Summer. Ask about field trips and activities that are fun and keep the brain working.

Review Registration Policy

Before registering & paying anything, it’s a good idea to contact the camp directly & ask questions about their registration & refund policies. Some camps will reimburse the full registration amount, while other camps require a specific time for a refundable deposit, and some camps are non-refundable. So be sure to go in knowing the policy.

Ask About Camp Safety

If the camp is in full-swing, safety will be a big concern. Parents are urged to contact the camp & ask as many questions as possible to review any of the camp’s health-related plans. Do they follow certain guidelines set by the CDC? How are medical issues & emergencies handled? These are all important questions to ask. Any reputable camp should be expecting these types of calls/questions.
