What to look for in a Summer Camp?

Spring is right around the corner and that means that it is time to choose a Summer Camp for your children.  Choosing a Summer Camp in a large city like Brooklyn, NY can be a daunting task!  The following are just a few things to look for:

1. Is the camp licensed by the NYC Dept of Health?  This is a mandatory check that parent’s should do.  Any camp in NYC needs to be licensed and inspected.  These inspection reports can be found on the nyc.gov website and can give parent’s an insight to how the camp is run.
2. Check the Summer Camp’s reviews and feedback from other parent’s.  Google pages, Facebook, Yelp and other platforms are a great place to start.  The best summer camps will have plenty of reviews online.
3. Enriching Activities and Trips!  The best summer camps should have a robust program of activities and trips.  The activities should foster the camper’s creative, physical and social growth.  Trips should be to places that expose the campers to new things!  Look at the previous years trip calendar and program of activities to get a general idea of what to expect.
4.  Take a tour!!  Go check out the summer camp.  See what the facility looks like and how you child will be spending his/her day!
