This fall, camp directors will attend camp fairs, host fall festivals & open houses at camp, and do home visits, which are all great ways to get to know the camp director and find out about their program. By researching and registering for a camp in the fall, families will be able to take advantage of early bird rates and payment plans, while additionally reserving their first choice camp. Searching for summer camp now also gives families a longer time to plan financially for camp. Camp can be given as part of birthday gifts and holiday gifts and parents can budget for these gifts throughout the year.
