First-Ever Virtual Camp Fair in New England

The American Camp Association, New England (ACA New England) is pleased to announce it will be hosting the region’s first-ever virtual camp fair for families who hope to find day or overnight camps located in CT, MA, ME, NH, RI & VT. The virtual fair will be live online Sunday, February 8th, from 1-5pm, and Monday, February 9th, from 4-8pm. Parents can attend this camp fair by visiting summercamplive.com/ACANEFair, --simple as that. Attendees can sign up now, even though the fair won’t be open until February 8th.

Expect to do everything families can do at in-person camp fairs - and more. Live chat with camp representatives, view videos and photos, browse camp websites and review camp materials - all from the comfort of home or a favorite computer. In the meantime, camp seekers don’t have to wait until February to access resources and information. Navigate from acanewengland.org to the families and public page full of camp-specific content focused on New England. The ACA New England Pinterest page (www.pinterest.com/ACANewEngland/finding-your-camp/) is also full of content of interest to camp seekers.

Bette Bussel, executive director of ACA New England says, “We are excited to bring families the ability to interact with camp representatives and explore camp options fully. New England is the birthplace of summer camp. We’re proud of the large number of camps and the tremendous variety in program offerings and camp types available. There’s a camp in New England for everyone - day or overnight, specialty or general, coed or single sex, religiously-affiliated or not, small or large and nonprofit or private. It’s why families throughout the US and around the world in addition to around the region choose New England camps. We’ve chosen this virtual platform to serve families focused on finding camps in New England. Join us to watch videos, view photos and ask questions of industry professionals. This is a unique and fun opportunity to learn about camps and find the right one for your child without having to leave the house.”
