Affording Summer Camp

By: julienewman76

Home | Sports-and-Recreation

More than in years past, camps are offering deals for families who enroll early. At the same time, parents might not have the cash on hand for early deposits -- or they might wonder whether their camp plans will change next summer if someone in the family loses a job.
Here are Eifler's ideas:
"If you have a tight budget but know you want to send your child away to camp:
--Be aware of early enrollment discounts. Plan ahead.
--Ask the camp about a discount for multiple children from one family.
--Inquire about shorter sessions to accommodate a tight budget.
--Make summer a part of your educational plan. Choose a shorter specialty program that will enhance the students profile for college or help develop a new interest or skill.
--Contact camps run by your local county government or agencies like the Jewish Federation, the JCC, the Salvation Army, Campfire Boys and Girls or the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. These camps offer a summer experience at a reduced cost because the sponsoring agency subsidizes the camp.
--Look into financial aid, which is available at most camps. If you apply early, it is possible to get a 20-50 percent discount based on need."
Do you have other ideas to share?
