Camp Advertising Opportunities

Between the months of February to June, there are many opportunities to promote camps and summer programs. Indy's Child offers a range of camp advertising packages to help maximize your results.

2025 Summer Camp Fair

The 36th Annual Summer Camp will be held at the Indianapolis Art Center on Saturday, February 22 from 11 am – 2 pm. Since our Virtual Camp Fair continues to be a valued resource for parents, we have decided to continue the online version of the fair, along with the live event.

In-Person Camp Fair + Virtual Camp Fair: $495

All camps participating in our in-person Camp Fair will receive a complimentary Virtual Camp Fair page. Each booth will come with 1 (6-foot) table, 2 chairs, and a tablecloth. 

Virtual Camp Fair Page Only: $395

The Virtual Camp Fair will be heavily promoted in print and online from February 1 to June 30, 2025. Using Facebook and Google ads, we guarantee a minimum of 1,000,000 targeted impressions. Full-page ads in our March and April print issues will further promote the Virtual Camp Fair.

Marketing Plan:
  • 1/2 page “Save the Date” ad in January
  • Full-page ads in January & February issues
  • Full-page ads in March & April promoting the virtual Camp Fair
  • Ads on weekly eNewsletter (Mondays & Wednesdays)

  • Directory Listing: $125/month or $100/month for all 5.

Multi-Advertiser eBlast

Every year, our Multi-Advertiser eBlasts & Article is one of the most popular opportunities we offer. The eBlasts will go out to 20,000 subscribers on February 18, March 18 and April 22. The online article will be updated and posted on Facebook each month as well. The online article reaches around 5,000 organic views each month from readers googling a phrase like “Indianapolis summer camps”. eBlast Example | Article Example
