There are several ways to find the best Kids Summer Camps but they all require loads of work. First and maybe most important is the Internet. Today increasingly the internet is able to help children and parents alike find the right camp. Pictures and Videos can all help make the decision easier. Other ways to find a camp are more specific and local. You may look at brochures at your library, school, or other bulletin boards. Many sports and child magazines carry advertisements for these types of programs. Word of mouth is still the preferred way because you can get so much more information about staff, facilities and even the food.

Another resource may be your child's coach or a local coach. Varsity coaches at the high school or college level may either run a program or know one that they recommend to their players.

Kid's Summer Camps are well-established and have been in business for many years. Basic questions to ask the directors include health and safety, living accommodations, and much more. Here is a list to start with:

* How long has the camp been in operation? How long has it been at it's current location?

* What is the daily schedule actually like? How much time do they get at an activity?

* Who are the coaches? What is their training? Preferably you are looking for varsity college coaches with college players as assistants. Ask how much of the staff is returning from previous seasons.

* What is the ratio of instructors to campers? How are the groups organized? Is there room for movement to a higher skill level after camp begins?

* How many campers return?

* Does the camp work on not only skills but personal development? Will the camp provide a written evaluation at the end?

* What are the ages of the campers who attend? Where are the kids from?

*What is the level of play? Does the camp accept all skill levels?

You are placing your child in the care of someone else. Check references! If you don't know any families who have gone to this camp, then ask the director for a list (but call). Here are some things to ask:

* Why did they pick this program?

* What did their camper like and dislike about the program?

* What did the parents think of the supervision and the directors?

* Did the parents believe it had benefits for their child? What were they?
