5 Easy Ways To Plan for a Successful Summer Camp

My Center Directors and I planned for a successful Summer Camp back in March 2023 and It was so exciting. We planned our weekly theme, fun Friday events and fieldtrips. 

Are you planning to have a Camp this Summer? If so, now is the perfect time to start marketing your Camp.

However, if you have been too busy to market your camp; it’s never to late to start today!

The summer time is a great season for the business of Child Care. In fact, school-age children are out of school and parents need a fun and enriching place for their children to be.

Today I want to share with you 5 easy ways to market your summer camp:

1. Create a festive Flyer about your camp on your computer and share it as a reel on socialmedia. Be sure to include the dates of the camp, events along with field trip information. Include a registration form with the flyer.

2. Start Marketing your Summer Camp now On Your Social Media Pages; using summer related images that include a link to your website or your phone number.

3. If you own a center, display Summer Camp banners on your playground fence or in your windows. (If allowed in your municipality)

4. Send flyers and information to families that attended your camp in previous years.

5. Plan lots of fun theme based activities along with field trips and be sure to market all that you have planned for your camp! 

6. Market your camp on your website and provide downloadable camp forms! ** be sure to disclose Covid 19 precautions.

Much Success to you!

I look forward to planning a Cool and Fun Summer Camp For young children every year. In fact, I believe that a great Summer Camp begins with the Activities that are planned for the children.

The first step is to develop a weekly or monthly theme for your Summer Camp and start planning some cool Summer Activities for the children. Need some ideas?

The Summer is approximately 12 weeks and here are 12 Cool Summer Time themes that children love:

  1. Watermelon Fun
  2. Ice Cream Fun
  3. Let’s Go Camping
  4. Water Fun
  5. On the Beach
  6. Travel
  7. Safari Adventure
  8. It’s a Luau
  9. Patriotic Fun
  10. Going on a Bear Hunt
  11. Summer Safety
  12. Summer Gardening

bxp26686I also suggest that you plan special events during your summer camp, such as; having a Luau Day, Inviting the children to wear swim wear to Water Fun day; invite the parents to bring watermelon for Watermelon Day!

Moreover, be sure to plan lots of Art, Music/Movement, Science, Cooking, Sensory, Literacy and Math Activities, based on a Fun Summer time Theme.
