In part one of this two-part blog series, we went over some of the key reasons why it’s so important to get started on planning for your child’s summer camp programs early in the year. Both due to program availability and several other areas, getting started on this planning well in advance pays dividends – and there are a few things you should be considering as you go about this.
At Smart Kids Development Center, we’re happy to assist parents as they look into any of our child care programs and services in Taylorsville and Salt Lake City, including our yearly summer camp programs for kids aged 5 months all the way up to 12 years old. Today’s part two of our series will go over some top areas you should be attending to during advanced summer camp planning.
Naturally, one of your first big steps when it comes to summer camp planning is actually signing your child up for the desired program! This may sound obvious, but due to limited space and enrollment windows for many camps, you don’t want to miss out on any opportunities.
Take a look at all the available programs in your area and sign up as soon as possible – this way, you won’t have to worry about spots getting taken away before you can get your child enrolled.
When looking into the various camps in your area, it’s important to consider the needs of your particular child and what kind of program would be the best fit for them. Whether that means a summer camp with a focus on sports, the arts, or something else entirely, take your time to consider what will be most beneficial for them.
You should also make sure to look into any additional activities that a camp may offer such as field trips, swimming lessons and more. These extra activities can be great for keeping kids engaged during their summertime!
When we talk about the details of summer camp planning, this most often involves scheduling. For example, you’ll want to consider how long your child will be attending a camp and which days of the week they will be going. This is especially important if you plan on enrolling them in multiple camps during one summer season.
You may also want to look into the hours of operation and drop-off/pick-up times to make sure they stay within your family’s schedule. Knowing these details ahead of time will help you plan for the upcoming summer season and keep things running smoothly.
