Things To Look For When You Visit  Or Drop Off.

• Are the instructors early? Instructors should always be present before campers.
• Are the instructors enthusiastic and friendly?
• Is there a plan visible?
• Do the instructors show care and provide encouragement?
• Do the instructors show a real enjoyment in executing the program?
• Is the environment welcoming to parents?
• Does the instructor show a concern for all and try to meet each participant's needs.
• Do the assistants spend extra time with the participants - pre-camp, during camp, post-camp.
• Do all participants receive prizes and recognition.
• Observe if the participants are actively engaged most of the time. Active involvement probably means more skills development and that is the most important reason for selecting a camp.
• Do the instructors emphasize proper values such as respect, attitude, sportsmanship and fair play.
• Parents must remember - if there is a problem, it is essential to contact the head instructor or director immediately. Don't wait for three days. A quality program wants to fix situations immediately.
