In the story, Andrea reminds parents that summer camp can vary from the regular school year. She suggests inquiring about before- and after-school care, and if camps offer any flexibility on pick-up times. 

Andrea also suggests finding camps that offer a range of interests and activities across age ranges. She says, “This is better than taking your children from camp to camp during the summer. Bouncing around can be stressful for the children if they have to deal with the uncertainty of each week being a whole new experience.” Andrea also suggests choosing a camp that provides lunch and snacks, which is one less thing for parents to think about.
