Sport, technology, art, writing, outdoor, general?
- What is the age range of campers?
It may not a good idea if your child is the youngest or oldest one in this summer camp.

Education, previous experiences of being camp instructors, certification of CPR and first aid etc.
- What is the safety preparation or medical aids for the campers?
- What is the ratio of staff and children?
