What makes up a great summer camp program?

Summer camps programs are essential learning opportunities for kids and have proven to have a correlation with higher graduation rates, positive effects on self-esteem, better preparation for college, confidence and motivation.  

Moreover, these programs are great at improving talent and keeping students engaged.  Therefore, it is no surprise that parents are looking for great summer camp programs in Albany for their children.

So what should a parent look in a great summer program?

This is one question that many parents struggle to answer.  According to camp professionals, camps let kids play, engage, explore and roam in a way that they never do in the neighborhood. The good thing about camps is that they let kids rediscover their childhood by taking them away from TV, computers and social media, swapping that with fun, conversation and games in a natural setting.  

Here are important questions you should answer while looking for a summer program for your child.

• Does the program promise balanced programming like cultural enrichment, reading, math, sporting and puzzles?
• Does the program have engaging activities?
• Will the children have personalized attention depending on their individual needs and age?
• Is the location safe and secure?
• Does the program cater to children with disabilities?
  
• Are the guides trained to offer specialized camps?
• What is the reputation of the program? How long has it been in existence?
• How long will the program take?
• Does the program ensure healthy interactions between staff and youth?
• Does the program encourage physical exercises and healthy eating?
• What are the ground rules of the program?
• Is the staff who is going to work with my child experienced enough?
• Are the parents involved in the program?
