If I had to use four words to explain why you should use a Camp Consultant, it would be: “WE know our stuff!” Our new camp families typically fall into one of three categories:
Camp Family #1: This family has heard of many camps and may have received names from friends and family, but they do not understand the differences between them and need our help to differentiate. They may have already started the “camp process” or may not even know where to begin. At this point, the camp information they’re receiving could be incorrect or overwhelming. It’s never too late to reach out to us; we are always here to help!
Camp Family #2: This family has one parent who loved their camp experience, but is married to a spouse who is skeptical about sleepaway camp or simply doesn’t know enough about it. Usually, one parent attended summer camp, while the other is hesitant about the idea of a full summer away. This is where a Camp Specialist can be a great “marriage counselor!”
Camp Family #3: This family is completely new to the idea of camp! This type of family is growing faster than any other we work with. Did you know that camp is now for EVERYONE? Camps today offer a variety of religious services and have more diversity than ever before. Did you know that camps not only offer 7-8 week sessions, but also shorter 2-4 week sessions?
Have you or your children ever had an AMAZING teacher, the kind that you immediately recognized as exceptional? Or maybe an amazing doctor, someone who made you feel lucky to be in their care? While Camp Specialists are not teachers or medical doctors, we STRONGLY believe in education!
Did you know that Camp Specialists have weekly Zoom meetings with Camp Directors to stay updated on all program changes, facility upgrades, and more? We don’t just visit camps in the summer; we attend residential camp conferences, participate in training sessions, and attend camp workshops throughout the year! Yup… We are Camp Obsessed!
At Camp Specialists, we take our jobs very seriously. Our goal is to listen to your needs and match them with camps that are the best fit! Sometimes, we push a little so you can see all the options out there. How else would you know? We partner with over 300 camps, and YES, we visit them regularly. When we give our referrals to families, we spend time going over each camp in detail. We help you narrow your list of 6-8 camps to 2-3 that you would like to tour. Camp Specialists also help you map out your tours, provide hotel recommendations, and follow up with you throughout your entire camp experience. To say that Camp Friends are the best friends is an understatement!
Camp Specialists is proud to be the number 1 camp referral agency! Just ask the directors.
So… Why use a Camp Consultant, and why use a Camp Specialist? Because we are proud to say, “WE KNOW OUR STUFF!” and we’re excited to share it ALL with you!
Please reach out to us anytime for help with camps, teen tours, college programs, or any other summer needs.
We look forward to hearing from you!
Your Camp Specialist “Camp Obsessed” Team 🙂
