Sending your child to camp is a big decision, and finding the right camp for your child is even more important. Every child is different, and every camp offers something a little different. We encourage families to do their research, ask questions and, perhaps most importantly, talk to other families who have sent their children to camp.

​

Camp Howe has always relied heavily on word of mouth rather than advertising. Our families, campers and staff are our greatest advocates. Their experiences, recommendations and willingness to share what Camp Howe has meant to them have helped us grow, earn local and national recognition and fill our camp each summer.

​

But we also know that what works for one child may not be right for another. We want you to feel confident that Camp Howe is the right fit for your child and your family. That means understanding our programs, our approach to supervision and safety, our commitment to inclusion and what everyday life at camp really looks like. We want you to know what to expect, including the challenges that can come with being away from home.

​

We welcome your questions. Whether your child is attending camp for the first time, has additional support needs or has been coming for years, we're happy to talk. Sometimes a conversation is the easiest way to figure out whether Camp Howe is the right place for your child.

To help you get started, we've put together answers to some of the questions families ask us most often.

They're organized by topic, with drop-down answers so you can easily find the information you need.

​

Take your time, explore the information and give us a call if there's anything else you'd like to know. We'd much rather answer your questions before camp than have you arrive with unanswered ones.
