Guidelines in Choosing the Right Summer Opportunities for Your Child – Tip #6

Top 10 topics to discuss when choosing the right summer opportunity for your child continues with tip# 6 (core values)

There are still 5 helpful tips to choosing the right summer camp program for your child. We have all heard the phrase, “it takes a village to raise a child” and the bottom line is that it is true. 

Beyond choosing experiences that peak your child’s interest you want to look at these as opportunities to partner with other responsible adults that will support your family values.

Topic Tip #6

Mission/ Values/ Philosophy – Does the program reinforce your family values? Can the director easily explain the programs mission statement and goals?

Ask the director about the type of child that is a successful participant in their program.  

Excellent tip.
I think this should be used with all after school activities.
