FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the questions parents ask us most often.

What ages do you work with?

We advise students aged 8 to 18 on summer programs. For young adults (18 to 21), we assist on a case-by-case basis.

When should we start planning?

It is ideal to start 6 to 9 months before the summer (many top camps fill up by December). But you are welcome to reach out later too. We often secure a spot even in spring.

What types of summer camps do you recommend?

From academic and language camps to art, sports, and STEM intensives, we curate options that best match your child's goals.

Do you help with visas and travel?

Yes, as part of the Comprehensive Package. We guide you through visa procedures, required documentation, travel tips, and minor-specific airport procedures.

Do you only work with partner camps?

No. Our recommendations are based solely on the child's needs and goals, not on partnerships. We work with hundreds of vetted programs worldwide.

Can you help if my child has special needs?

Absolutely. We match families with programs that accommodate dietary needs, allergies, special diets, ADHD, and other specific requirements. Your child's wellbeing always comes first.
