Summer camps can be found in schools, parks and recreation programs and churches, or as part of youth service agencies, specialty camps, family child care homes and child care centers. With various program options such as academics, gaming, sports, music and arts, you are sure to find a summer camp your child will enjoy.
Here are tips to consider:
- Determine which days/weeks care is needed, fees for services offered and the deadline to submit your application.
- Ask if enriching educational experiences are provided, such as off-site learning opportunities.
- Assess if the location is convenient for you and your family.
A checklist is available to assist with selecting the best summer camp for your child. You may also visit the Department of Children and Families’ website for information on Choosing a Safe Summer Camp. The Child Care Resource and Referral program can also provide a list of summer camps in your community.
