Just uttering the words "sleep-away camp" can conjure up feelings of reluctance and fear--for the parents of future campers , of course. How do you know which camp is right for your child? At what age are they ready? Will they play sports all day? Or none at all? Frolic carelessly through tranquil, leafy settings and swim in pristine lakes? Or go on a hunger strike until you (the "mean" parent) lets them come back home. Enter Camp Experts who believe selecting an overnight summer camp for your children deserves a good deal of thought. Choosing sleepaway summer camp programs that reflect your children's interests, needs, and abilities will provide a truly rewarding experience and a lifetime of memories. The Camp Experts takes the time to learn about your children and provides you with FREE personalized summer camps guidance best suited to your needs. There's no fee, and all they ask is (if you like their service) that you refer them to your friends... After all, a relieved parent is the happiest camper of all. Thanks, Lauren!
