Summer camp Advice | Selecting a Summer camp

Page 1


As Camp Directors since 1996, we realize that finding a camp can be a daunting task. We created this website to give you information and to assist you in offering the best summer camp experience for your child. Historically, summer camps have been an American institution since the early 1900's. In the early days camp was all about getting youngsters out of city life and enjoying the clean cool air of the country while learning camping skills. Today, summer camp has progressed from campfires to computer screens and from nature trails to rollerblade rinks. In fact, many of today's camp programs take place in the heart of the city.
