Camp Fit Guide

The best camps for sensitive kids.

The short answer

Sensitive kids do not need a softer camp. They need a smaller camp where the staff actually know them. The right fit is a camp under 200 kids, a 1-to-4 staff ratio, a director who has been there for a while, and a culture that does not lean hard on competition. The wrong fit is a big camp that markets itself as gentle.
