	When should I start looking for a camp?
	What should I look for in a camp?
	One thing that makes a difference in a large camp is the value that the director places on the smaller units (or cabin groups). If there is significant time set aside for the units to do things together and really get to know each other then they will never feel lost in the crowd.
	I like traditional 'camp' it's about wilderness, outdoor living, survival, teamwork and respect for nature, however if there is a kind of short term 'stay at your education' urban option where your child can learn something valuable that they enjoy or could really benefit by, go for it. Maybe alternate and send your child to a traditional camp one year and an urban camp the next, it'a always good to help your kids be well rounded.
