Our Process

The kids come first.

There’s a simple philosophy at the heart of our business: “The kids come first.” That’s why our free summer camp placement process is entirely centered around what’s best for your child and your family. We make it easy and fun to discover summer camps that check all the boxes on your wish list.

How it works

Step 1

We get to know you

It starts with a conversation. Whether you’re already familiar with the many summer camp options available or starting your search completely from scratch, a dedicated Camp Specialist will reach out to learn all about your family, your child, what you’re looking for in a camp, and what your dealbreakers are.

Step 2

We search (so you don’t have to)

Here’s where we put our relationships and experience with the camp world to work. Based on what we’ve learned about your camper, we dive into our deep trove of camp knowledge and come up with a selection of camps we think you’ll love. We take all your wants and needs into consideration: Location, session length, activities, religious affiliation, coed camp or single-sex, dietary restrictions — everything that matters to you and your child. Learn more about the benefits of working with an overnight camp placement service.

Step 3

You make the final decision

Once we’ve prepared your personalized list, we’ll walk you through our recommendations to show you why we think they’re the right choices for your camper. You’ll receive information directly from each camp, and we can even put you in touch with the directors if you’d like to start by getting to know them. From there, you can set up a tour that will let you and your child experience a day in the life at camp firsthand! We can also help arrange to have a camp director come to your home for a meet-and-greet during the off-season (this is particularly helpful when you’re looking at camps for shy or anxious kids!).

Best of all… we’re by your side, start to finish.

Often, the hardest part of the process is narrowing down the list to just one camp. But you don’t have to do it alone! Your Camp Specialist will be there to answer questions, offer advice, and lend a helping hand.

In fact, we encourage you to stay in close communication with us throughout the process in order to ensure the best result, and we ask our families to keep us in the loop as they make their decisions. Nothing makes us happier than getting to be part of the excitement as your camper discovers their new summer home!
