2. Save Money

Find out about discounts camps might offer, including early-registration discounts, sibling discounts, or discounts for referring friends or serving as a carpool driver. Many camps offer early registration discounts that expire in early spring, so the sooner you enroll, the better!

3. Meet the Directors and Ask Questions

Many websites have FAQ sections about their camps. But what if they don’t answer the questions on your mind? At the Summer Fun + Camp Fair, you can ask camp directors the questions you have on your list and get a sense of their camp. Does your child have questions? Get them in on the discussion to help ease their mind about trying out a new camp.

4. Experience the Camp

Many camps will bring small activities for kids and parents to try out at their booth. Get a sneak peek at some of the fun your children will experience this summer.
