Camp expert Risa Goldberg tells us how she helps parents find sleepaway camps, summer day camps, and teen travel programs - at no cost to the parents!
When it’s time to consider summer day camp or sleepaway camp for your child, where do you start? We had a great conversation with camp expert Risa Goldberg, whose job is finding summer camps! And the best part? Parents don’t pay for her services. She gets to know the families she works with, asks them lots of questions about their kids’ likes and habits, and gives her recommendations. She spends her summers traveling to summer camps to see first hand what the camps are like, and gets feedback from families at the end of the summer. She does the legwork, and shares what she knows with other camp experts.
