Introduction to National Camp Association SUMMER CAMP: A child's Shangri La. A place to learn, grow, make friends, and have fun. Simply put - the experience of a lifetime for a child! NATIONAL CAMP ASSOCIATION: Offers a public guidance and referral service which recommends the finest summer camps throughout the country and abroad. An organization dedicated to helping parents find the right camp for their children. Over the years, the camp industry has grown to new heights. Children from all over the world spend their summers in the United States, Canada and abroad. The number of camps to choose from can be overwhelming to a parent. They look for help. The dual-career household, the modern family, can no longer provide the care and recreational needs of their children to fill the long, hot days of summer after the last 3 o'clock bell has rung in June. They seek a viable alternative - summer camp. National Camp Association offers information on virtually every imaginable type of overnight summer program. From athletic to artistic, academic to recreational, learning disabled to weight reduction, we recommend camps for every child. Teen tours and overseas programs are available as well. All National Camp Association camps are accredited programs that have met strict standards including health, safety, quality programming, and have been evaluated by a National Camp Association advisor. A good camp, whether it be sleepaway, travel camp, or a wilderness program, has the potential to offer a child many positive and rewarding experiences. A camp experience can be fun, healthy, relaxing, and an opportunity to develop skills whether they be athletic or interpersonal and it offers youngsters a chance to become more responsible and independent. Consequently, because a camp experience may have a significant impact on a child's life, it is important for parents to learn how to make a well considered decision when choosing a camp. We are glad to extend our organization as a resource to you for families seeking summer programs for their children.
