      @@Zoe-dy4uk I didn't. I kept it more "private" rather than making it a public summer camp. The more public you go the more licensing and such you'll need. Having basic first aid training is helpful.

    Thank you for your video it was very much educational. :))
    I have a few questions for you pertaining to the summer camps, does it require for the host to have a license/ LLC?
    How would the host go about applying for a grants to help support the cost of the camp along with the supplies & the helpers for the kids or being based upon medical low income based kids in the community ?
    Does the camp helpers that i may personally know have to have a background check done before assisting and if so, how would i go about that process?

    • @FullPurposeAndHeart
      @FullPurposeAndHeart  6 місяців тому

      Good questions. I am not a legal professional nor pretend to understand requirements for all counties in the country. So, I’d say you’ll want to reach out to some community business leaders. My camp I ran was very private/close friends and family so the requirements were different.

      How fun! You'll just want to define your lines as to what will be planned and structured and what will be free play. Once you know those boundaries, you can iron out how your mornings will flow and what expectations you have for your parents and your preschoolers. :)

    • @FullPurposeAndHeart
      @FullPurposeAndHeart  3 роки тому +1

      How exciting. As far as water activities go, there are several options. I also did not have a pool. :).
      1. You could get a small baby pool and just let the littles splash around with buckets and such.
      2. Purchase a slip n' slide. The kids loved this the year I did
      3. Water Balloons - they go fast but they are wet and fun
      4. One year I rented a "wet n dry" bounce house that filled with water and became a water slide

    Do you need to have any kind of early childhood development education under your belt before hosting any kind of summer camp?

    • @FullPurposeAndHeart
      @FullPurposeAndHeart  3 роки тому +3

      My first answer is absolutely not. That being said, if you make your summer camp large and more of a public entity then you'll need to look into the proper certification. My camps were very private (only neighborhood kids) and I knew all their parents. All you need is a do it attitude, a Pinterest account, and an energy drink. :)

    • @FullPurposeAndHeart
      @FullPurposeAndHeart  3 роки тому +1

      My camps were very private and "among friends". My neighborhood was full of kids the right ages so I just had the parents all sign a form I had drafted up myself. If your camp is more public in nature, you'll want to check with the city requirements and forms for that.

      It’s difficult for sure. Marketing is always the hardest part. I used my neighborhood Facebook page and my church community. I lived in a very child-dense neighborhood so there was a big market to pull from. I was all about free marketing so that’s as far as my knowledge goes.
