The IDEAL RESOURCE Book about Camp

I'm so glad that I found this book in time! - it helped me make the best decisions for my kids right before I signed them up for camp this summer. Next year, we'll get started even sooner. This book is top-notch, practical, easy to read, and well structured. You can learn everything - from how to evaluate and choose the best short-term day camp in your own neighborhood, to summer-long, transcontinental teen tours. The author has great suggestions, such as hiring someone to sew on all those nametapes! She also handles emotional issues, such as homesickness, and separation anxiety (for parents as well as kids). The checklists are very useful. But it's not all serious business; I laughed and cried when I read campers' fond remembrances and anecdotes, which kicked off every chapter.
