QUICK TAKE: CampSource is a remarkable service that takes
the time to match children with the best program available to
them, based on their personalities, interests, talents, and abilities.
It is a great place to begin when looking for a special experience
for your child. The amazing part of the service is
that Abby Shapiro, the director, is there not just to make the
sale, but she is present throughout the course of the program
to fix any problems. So not to worry if a camp experience
isn’t working for your child during his or her stay. Shapiro
will work with you to solve any and all concerns.
BACKGROUND: CampSource is a free service dedicated to
helping you find the best possible match between a summer
program and your child. The agency’s main goal is to “help
parents understand which summer experience is best suited
for their children.” CampSource makes it a top priority to learn
everything about the child and how he or she wants to spend
the summer before spending time with both the parents and
child to further understand their needs.
DESCRIPTION: CampSource experts have been able to establish
relationships with directors by talking with them all
winter and visiting them all summer. The result is first-hand
knowledge to pass along to parents.
OUR TAKE: We have interviewed several parents who have used
the service and they raved. CampSource is a good way to navigate
the hundreds of programs out there. Abby Shapiro, the
director, takes her work seriously. She is one of the best in
the business, and we got the feeling that she seriously cares
about the child after her placement. We give it a rave review.
RECOMMENDATION: Many parents we have contacted have
given high marks to this service. We also contacted other comparable
services, which did not follow through on camp suggestions,
counseling services, and so on. Many of the other
services lack the experience of CampSource. Shapiro’s staff
has years of experience, which makes it easier for you to find
the perfect program to fit your child’s interests at no cost.
CampSource is dedicated to finding the best summer programs
for hundreds of kids across the country. That’s what its
promotional material states . . . and we definitely agree.
