How do I know if a summer program is the right fit for my child?

Start by asking: What does my child love? Then ask: Where could they grow? A great-fit program balances both—supporting your child’s weaker areas while feeding their passions. Also, consider their social needs. Do they want to meet new people or stick with familiar faces? Is independence exciting or overwhelming? Read program reviews, talk to other parents, and, most importantly, involve your child in the decision. Their buy-in matters. If their eyes light up while reading the brochure or asking questions about the camp, you’re probably on the right track.
