Happy 2013!

It’s that time of year again–the consultants at Tips on Trips and Camps are very busy helping families with overnight summer camp options.  We’re also busy planning and preparing to host our annual Summer Opportunity Camp Fairs around the country.

Our camp fairs are a great way for families to look around and get a feel for what’s out there. Not only are families exposed to a wide range of summer program choices, they can speak with representatives or directors of the camps and programs they are interested in. This provides a certain comfort level that many families need before making a decision on a summer program for their child or teen.

One advantage of a Tips on Trips and Camps Summer Opportunities Fair is the personal touch that is available. Tips on Trips consultants are on hand to talk to families, listen to their needs, and direct them to suitable summer programs.

Having a camp advisor to help you with the ins and outs of finding a perfect summer experience for your child is essential, yet not many parents realize that this free service provided by Tips on Trips and Camps is available to them!   Your camp advisor will listen to your needs, and help you to find programs that your child is interested in.  Whether it be a summer arts program, a language immersion camp, a science focused program, an internship or community service project, a sports camp, a traditional  co-ed camp or an all-girl or all-boy camp, the choices are many and your personal advisor will help you to narrow down the search.  Your advisor will help you to distinguish between programs and help you to understand the particular culture of a program.  An Internet search is great, but it’s difficult to determine the true culture of a camp by looking at a website.  A Tips consultant has visited the programs, met the directors, and has an un-biased view.  Your personal advisor will take you and your child’s needs into consideration first and foremost.

If summer camp in 2013 is an option for your child this year, don’t delay…call your Tips on Trips camp advisor today!
