15th Salmon Annual Press Summer Camps ’17 kids are attend- ing more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addi- tion, parents should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships with their fellow camp- ers. Camp can be lone- ly for some youngsters, especially those at- tending summer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives to promote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate, any feel- ings of homesickness. Late winter is when parents should start looking at summer camps for their kids, and there are a host of factors moms and dads should take into con- sideration during the vetting process to en- sure their youngsters have as much fun as possible.
