Summer camps are an iconic American tradition, offering children a unique opportunity to explore new interests, make lasting friendships, and gain independence in a fun and supportive environment. With over 12,000 summer camps across the United States, finding the perfect one for your child can be daunting. But fear not! In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of choosing the best summer camp for your kid, the same way you plan an event, all while highlighting how Instaparty can enhance your camp selection experience, just as we already do for your event planning. 

1. Know Your Child’s Interests

Before diving into the world of summer camps, take a moment to understand your child’s interests. Are they passionate about sports, arts, academics, or adventure? Knowing their preferences will help narrow down the options.

2. Research the Top Summer Camps

To find the best summer camps, we turned to Newsweek’s “America’s Best Summer Camps 2024” ranking. This comprehensive list identifies the top camps in the U.S., categorized by state. Whether you’re in California for example, there’s a camp waiting for your child.

Here are a few notable camps:
  • Camp Trinity: a residential summer camp for kids ages 8-16 in Northern California
  • Camp Arnaz: a girls scout camp where they are learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good
  • K3 Martial Arts Summer Camp: To build character and leadership qualities
