Thinking about how to spend those long summer days. We’ve come up with this guide to choosing a summer camp for kids.

What are the differences in camps? There are four basic types of camps to choose from for your child: day programs, sleep-away (also called residential), day programs with trips, and special needs. These types of camps are further divided by gender (girls only, boys only, or co-ed), and by age group. Additionally, camps often focus on specialties that include: adventure, art, computer, dance, music, religion, horse riding, sports, theatre, and others. Basically, if you can think of a subject, there is probably a camp that specializes in it.

Where on Earth do I find all of the camps? So if there are so many different types of camps, where do we find information about them? The answer is… just about everywhere. As children today are often more internet savvy than parents and guardians, a fun activity for your child may be to search the internet (either at home or at the public library) or go through other resources and make a list of potential camps. Then go through the list together and choose the one you feel is most appropriate. In addition to your public library, there are many local sources of information about summer camps, such as:

• Schools
• Churches
• Community centers
• Sports teams
• Clubs/Activity Groups
• Museums
