Camp Director Jud Millar will be at the Tower Hill HS Camp Fair Tonight!

Over 50 camps will be on hand at the 2024 Community Camp Fair.  There will be day and overnight camps, local and out-of-state, academic, arts, sports, nature, travel and more! The camp fair is a great way for families to start planning for the upcoming summer! (It will be here before we know it!) This event is FREE and open to the PUBLIC. There will be concessions on site, a free raffle with fun prizes and parking available. This is an event for the entire family!

 

A camp fair is an event where various summer camps set up booths or displays to showcase their programs and provide information to parents and potential campers. If Tower Hill School organizes such an event, it could be an opportunity for parents to gather valuable information about different summer camps, including their offerings, activities, locations, safety measures, and educational components. 

Attending a camp fair like this can assist parents in several ways:

1. Information Gathering: Parents can collect brochures, pamphlets, and other materials from different camps, allowing them to review and compare the offerings of various programs.

2. Direct Interaction: Camp representatives are often present at these fairs. Parents can ask questions directly to gather more detailed information about the camp's philosophy, staff qualifications, daily schedules, and any specific focus areas (e.g., academics, sports, arts).

3. Visualizing the Camp Experience: Some camps may provide visuals or multimedia presentations that help parents and teenagers get a better sense of the camp's atmosphere, facilities, and activities.

4. Networking: Parents can connect with other families who have attended the camps in the past or are considering them. Personal experiences and recommendations from other parents can be invaluable.

5. Special Offers and Discounts: Some camps may offer special deals or discounts for attendees of camp fairs. This can be an economic incentive for parents considering specific camps.

6. Understanding Policies and Procedures: Camp fairs can provide a platform for parents to discuss logistical aspects, such as safety protocols, supervision ratios, and communication methods between parents and camp staff.

Before attending a camp fair, it's advisable for parents to have a list of questions and criteria that are important to them. This way, they can make the most of their time at the fair and gather the necessary information to make an informed decision about the best summer camp for their teenager. Additionally, checking the school's website or contacting the school directly for details about the specific Tower Hill School Camp Fair is recommended for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
