There is no one size fits all, however, it’s good to think about future summers and not just summer #1. If you feel your child will eventually want a longer session, make sure you choose a camp where your child will be able to stay longer as time goes on. You don’t want to have to switch camp environments so your child can go for more time as they get older. Think about what you would like your summers to look like before choosing a camp. Know that many seven week camps offer shorter sessions for your child’s first summer. There are also session camps where you can go for part of the summer or the full summer.
