Camp Fit Guide

The best questions to ask a camp director.

The short answer

Skip the questions about food and facilities. Ask the director to tell you about a kid like yours who came last year and how it went. Ask what happens at 11pm on the second night, when a kid is in tears. Ask what they fired their last staff member for. The answers will tell you more than any tour.
