Eight points that should be paid attention to when choosing summer camp
Who is the organizer of 1?
The organizer of the summer camp must first choose a senior institution specializing in summer camp activities. Whether the organizer is a professional summer camp institution with long-term practical experience and authority first ensures the credibility. An experienced summer camp organizer is often more experienced and safer when dealing with emergencies. Here, a mature work team plays a decisive role. They have good communication skills and care about campers; Have the daily management ability of the team and be able to deal with all kinds of emergencies in time. Excellent youth education institutions, especially off-campus education institutions, systematically study and carry out youth practical activities all the year round, so that the theme education activities and practical activities such as summer camps have sufficient quality assurance from planning to operation.
2 Is the content arrangement reasonable?
The content of summer camp is a very key indicator. Is it a cursory tour or an interaction? Is it a long trip or a relaxation? Does the theme have profound educational and cultural connotation or superficial imitation and slogan? Is the activity creative or random? Is there any age consideration in the arrangement of activities? Did the whole trip fully consider the characteristics of teenagers? Whether you have considered the preparation of many activities for your children will directly lead to the final effect of summer camp activities. During the consultation, the organizer can provide many details about the activity, which will be very helpful for the selection.
3 What is security?
Safety factor is the most important measure of summer camp activities. In addition to the necessary accident insurance, such as what car to use, whether the driver has experience, how to operate the qualification and so on. Must understand. However, these are only part of security. When going out, what kind of safety guarantee system does the summer camp have, what emergency measures are there, whether there are medicines and first-aid supplies, how to manage them at night, and how to guarantee the activities? When parents consult these questions, they can have a detailed chat with the teacher, get to know the whole security system, and then think about it and see if there are any imperfections, so that they can pay for registration with confidence.
What is the experience of the camp counselor/coach teacher?
The camp counselor/instructor is the core of the successful operation of the summer camp. Generally speaking, 15 students should have a group leader or even more teachers. Because summer camp is an activity in the final analysis, the activity must have an organizer. The responsibility, love, experience and affinity of the organizers are the most important for children. They should not only be the leaders and organizers of activities, but also the guides of life and study. If we follow the guide mode or just control people in order to save costs, the quality of activities and the mood of children will be greatly affected.
How about the price? Are they all included?
Price is also an important consideration. The general operation of summer camp activities should include all the expenses, instead of just writing a part of the expenses, but charging the activities separately, which increases the total expenses in disguise; Secondly, we should seriously consider whether the cost is low or expensive, because low prices often make summer camps very bad, and it is difficult to guarantee food, accommodation, transportation or other aspects. The expensive price should be compared with the cost and the structure of the activity to see if it is reasonable and transparent.
Is there an extended service in the summer camp?
Generally speaking, summer camp activities are educational activities for teenagers and children, so there should be many activities to extend or evaluate the gains afterwards. If it is a permanent institution, there will be such a series of services. If it is a temporary organization, or an organization that is only for profit, it will only be an activity after collecting money, and this service will not be considered. This is also a factor that parents should consider. There is added value when there is service. More importantly, for children, more opportunities will be created through the platform of summer camp.
7 how to communicate after entering the camp?
Parents must be very worried and concerned about their children participating in the camp independently, especially for the first time. This is very understandable and must be satisfied. After entering the camp, can you communicate with parents about their children's daily situation in time, including words, pictures, voices, videos, etc. Of course, the most important task of a teacher is to take care of and lead children.
8 Are children interested?
Although parents have the right to decide whether to participate in summer camp activities, what they really experience is their children, so parents must fully consider their children's interests when choosing summer camps. After a semester of high-pressure study, children should be relaxed and let them regroup and move on to the next semester. Many parents force their children to take part in some special activities in order to learn hardship or a certain skill, but the children are not interested and will certainly fail to achieve the expected results. So don't replace children's interests with parents' own interests! Give children an ideal flying sky and let them participate in their own decision-making in winter and summer vacations!
