sports to water sports to ropes courses. Some camps offer unique specialties such as secret agent camp, Hollywood stunt camp, or circus camp. Creative specialties focus on creative interests like culinary arts, fashion design, filmmaking or movie makeup. And for the aspiring performing artist, there are acting, broadcast, dance, and music-focused specialties. When selecting a camp, you want to choose a program that offers as many specialties as possible. The greater the number of specialties and electives offered, the more engaged your camper will be, which means there’s little room for boredom or homesickness. Chances are, your camper will choose the most thrilling, heart-pounding, actionpacked summer camp around, but before you sign your enrollment papers, make sure those safety procedures are in place. Because choice is so important to young people, you’ll also want to be certain the camp has a variety of high quality activities that align with your camper’s interests. Your camper will want flexibility to explore a range of activities that he or she can participate in for the first time. Often campers will choose one camp activity such as paintball, only to discover they prefer water skiing. Camps that accommodate a camper’s changing interests are often a parent’s first choice.

We don’t usually think of the number of activities a camp offers and their correlation to safety, but they’re definitely related. One way to make sure your camper is safe is to be sure he or she is actively engaged in activities from sunup to sundown. Campers who are actively engaged in activities are rarely bored, are less apt to get into trouble and are rarely homesick. So consider putting variety, safety, and accreditation at the top of your list as you select a camp for your child this summer. Your camper will have an adrenalinpumping time, and as a parent you’ll have peace of mind knowing that he or she is in the safest environment possible.
