New York, NY (HRMarketer/PRWeb) August 3, 2007 -- Today’s working parents need tools to help with important decisions about their children’s activities and care, and assistance with finding the right summer camp is top on the list. They also have an urgent need to find high quality summer care options. Whether parents are looking for a day camp program to provide coverage for the whole summer, or a specialty residential camp, they want to make sure that their children are engaged in a safe, nurturing environment that supports growth and learning.

There are many issues to be considered when choosing a summer camp, including schedule, location, affordability, appropriateness of activities and setting, as well as safety and overall quality. In addition, camps can fill up, and busy parents can miss deadlines. These issues often cause unneeded stress and anxiety. And stressed and anxious parents can be unproductive at work and, without a summer care plan, can be increasingly absent over the summer.

ACA is a great resource for finding appropriate camps that meet high standards of quality and safety
