How To Choose The Right Summer Camp For Your Child

Summer camp is a time for kids to explore new interests, make friends, and have fun in a safe and engaging environment. But with so many options, how do you choose the best one? Here’s what to look for when selecting a summer camp—and why Stutelage is the perfect choice!

1. Engaging & Unique Themes

Children thrive when they’re excited about what they’re learning. A great summer camp should offer a variety of engaging themes that cater to different interests—whether that’s STEM, art, music, or pop culture favorites like Swifties, Minecraft, or Pokémon! At Stutelage, we craft each camp around what kids love most, ensuring they stay motivated and eager to participate.

2. Small Ratios For Personalized Attention

A low camper-to-staff ratio is essential to making sure each child feels supported and engaged. At Stutelage, we maintain a 1:12 ratio, ensuring that every camper receives the individual attention they need to learn, grow, and have fun.

3. Qualified, Caring Staff

The right camp should have experienced, passionate instructors who love working with children. At Stutelage, our instructors are highly-qualified NYS-certified teachers. Our aides are certified teachers, aides/assistants in a school district, or pre-teachers working toward teaching certification. Our staff creates a warm, welcoming environment where campers feel safe to explore and express themselves.

4. Commitment To Safety

When it comes to safety, choosing a camp with proper certification is a must. Stutelage is proudly permitted by the New York State Department of Health, meaning we meet rigorous safety, staffing, and program standards to ensure a secure, high-quality camp experience.

5. A Balance Of Learning & Fun

A summer camp should be more than just a place to pass the time—it should inspire creativity, curiosity, and friendships. At Stutelage, we combine hands-on learning with interactive games, crafts, and outdoor play, giving kids the perfect mix of education and excitement.

6. Flexibility For Families

We know that summer schedules can be unpredictable! Stutelage offers half-day and full-day options with no minimum camp requirements. Simply choose a schedule that works for your family. We also allow transfers with 72 hours notice, making us the most flexible summer camp in the area.

7. Strong Parent Communication

Parents should always feel connected to their child’s camp experience. Stutelage keeps families informed with daily highlights on our Instagram and Facebook stories so you know what your child is learning and enjoying each day.

Choosing the right summer camp means finding one that excites your child, prioritizes safety, and offers a high-quality experience. With small ratios, a NYS Department of Health permit, and fun, enriching programs, Stutelage checks every box—making summer an unforgettable adventure for your child!
