Anyone who’s spent time online looking for the perfect summer camp option for their children knows there are two major concerns driving the search. There’s the logistics, of course—dates, times, and locations to know. But there’s also the personal. How can I be sure this is the right place for my child?
Learn how our camp open houses provide the peace of mind that comes with finding the perfect camp for your child and get your logistical Camps ‘R’ Us registration questions answered here.
Explore Our Campuses at an Open House
During the camp season, Camps ‘R’ Us families will tell you we provide clear, consistent communication and transparency. Because it’s such a core value of ours, we aim to provide that same degree of transparency long before the camp season begins. We understand that families want to know their children will have fun while staying safe and secure. We believe one of the best ways to get to know our camp and what we offer is through an Open House at one of our campuses.
The Benefits of Attending Camp Open House
Attending one of our campus open houses gives you a preview of where your child’s home away from home will be during the upcoming summer. Some of the benefits of attending an open house include:
- Learn about our programs for different age groups and desired experiences.
- Gain an understanding of our schedules, the choices you have on the number of weeks, days per week, and when those weeks occur.
- Discover the various activities we offer campers, including special events, traditions, themes, and field trips.
- Hear about our Health and Wellness policies and how we provide a secure and healthy environment for campers of all ages.
- Understand our staffing philosophies while speaking with the Campus Directors and Camp staff who will help create a memorable summer for your child.
Join our open house to see Camps ‘R’ Us in action.
Camp Open House Schedule
Our Campus Open Houses generally occur throughout February, March, and April with each location hosting at least two open houses prior to the start of camp season. These are held on weekend mornings and typically last two hours to give families a full experience of the location. You can view our locations and contact them directly for more information on when the next open house will be.
How to Prepare for Camp Tours
Before you drop in to an open house, you may want to prepare some questions in advance to get as much information as possible from the session. While we try to be as comprehensive as possible, there may be topics or concerns you may have that aren’t covered in our open house materials. We encourage you to ask about our safety and security policies and how to best prepare for a camp day and session.
You may also wish to view our past calendars for that camp location to get a sense of the kinds of activities and field trips your child may be interested in during the upcoming camp season. With this information in mind, you can leave the open house feeling confident it’s where you want your child this summer.
