For starters, there’s our kickoff call. After we get acquainted, we’ll provide a list of recommended camps based on matching criteria. Along the way, we’ll send valuable materials and provide guidance via phone, email, video conferencing, and in-person. We’ll also help plan for home visits, camp tours, and so on.

Simply fill out the contact form, give us feedback on our recommendations, narrow down the list, get further acquainted with your top camps, and share your final decision with us. Easy peasy, right?

COMMUNICATE

Getting to know your family on a more personal level by understanding your needs, values, and goals is step one in our match-making process.

CURATE

We will deliver options that are synched with your child’s interests and personality as well as your preferences on budget, location, session length, and more! Our customized list of recommendations don’t come from a computer — they come from us — real people with real insider knowledge.

COLLABORATE

Our list of recommendations is only the beginning! We are here as an ongoing resource to help guide you through it all from start to finish. Selecting the right camp is an important decision and we are there for you every step of the way.

EDUCATE

We make it our business to know the latest information, industry knowledge, and trends so we can provide you the best camp and program options and be a valuable partner to help you plan ahead and stay informed.

DONATE

Our GIVE SUM initiative provides life-changing summer camp experiences to underprivileged children. For every child we help place in one of our recommended camps or programs, Summer 365 will make a donation to this special scholarship fund.

At Summer 365, we’re only as good as our last satisfied camper. That’s why we continue to research, travel, inspect, and interview every camp and program in our ever-expanding portfolio. Throughout the year, we’re available as a friend, advisor, and ongoing resource to help you plan ahead and stay informed.

Selecting the right camp is an important decision, and we will be there for you every step of the way. If you’d like to look at more camps or change the criteria of your search, just let us know. We’ll create the connection and have info sent out immediately.

Our service is available to you at no charge. Summer 365 receives a commission from the camps and programs our families select. However, we are completely independent in our evaluations and recommendations. At Summer 365, we have nothing to hide — and everything to prove. That’s how we earn our clients’ trust (and their business) year after year.

Life (and our minds) are always changing. We get it! If things change in your plan, let us know. As long as we are in the loop, we are here to see you through this whole process. When you zig, we zag.

Everyone comes into this process from a different perspective. Some people know exactly what they are looking for, some do not have a specific direction, and some who think they know what they want come out with something completely different than what they expected. Going through the process often helps to clarify, and the most important criteria in your search will emerge.

Not a problem! Our list is a starting point. We want to show you an array of options that match what you are looking for and educate you on what’s out there.

Keep in mind: we do not use an algorithm to generate a list. Instead, we carefully listen, communicate, and use our team’s expertise and knowledge to curate recommendations. Sometimes the initial list nails it. Other times we edit, we refine, and we come back with more.

As you start this process, you will undoubtedly receive thoughts, feedback, and recommendations from family, friends, acquaintances, and perfect strangers. That’s awesome! What’s better than someone helping you out with their personal experience? Keep in mind, though, what works for one family or child might not work for you.

When it comes to camp review websites, we find the sites available, like Camp Ratingz, are not well managed or maintained. As with all review sites, you’ll find the most positive and the most negative perspectives. Our recommendation is take what’s on there with a grain of salt if you do end up browsing around. For a better alternative, we recommend getting references from camps who will gladly connect you with current camp families!

Absolutely, and we encourage it! The camps will contact you and feel free to respond via email or calls. They will know we are working together, and we want you to get to know them!
