Camp Connection has been successfully matching camps and campers for more than 12 years. Offering a FREE advisory service for parents, Camp Connection operates much like a travel agency. With information on over 350 camps, teen tours, pre-college and community service programs within the United States and internationally, Camp Connection can meet your summer needs. The idea behind Camp Connection is that for every individual camper and family there are programs to meet their needs. In order to make the best possible decision, the professional staff conducts in-depth interviews and makes camping recommendations based on every factor from children’s interests to desired facilities, special activities and family budget. Camp Connection visits programs while they are in session, as well as before and after a season occurs, researching facilities, noting improvements and speaking to those involved. In addition, directors are met with on a regular basis. Direction and philosophy of a camp can only be understood through such ongoing communication. For those families wishing to visit camps the year prior to enrollment, Camp Connection will not only make suggestions, but point you in the right direction as well, providing everything from maps to suggestions for appointment times and overnight accommodations. Going to camp can be one of the most valuable and enriching experiences in a child’s life. To make sure kids expand their horizons as far as possible and have a great time in the process, Camp Connection is the essential first step.
