I'm Judy Macnow, owner of Judy Macnow's Camp and Tour Consultants.

We are a summer camp and advisory service representing the best summer camps, teen tours and teen summer programs in the United States and abroad.

I have over 25 years of experience in the camping industry—as a camper, counselor, camp administrator, camp advisor and parent. I am an expert at finding summer camps for children and trips for teens.

We start by speaking with parents and kids to identify each family's interests, special needs, geographic desires and budget. we know that every child is like a fingerprint; every child is unique. Our job is to recommend the best summer program for every individual child.

"Judy took the time to explain aspects of all the camps. When our needs changed to an all-boys camp, Judy did an excellent job selecting and explaining the camps. the end result was the perfect camp for our son. He learned a lot, made friends and had more fun than he ever imagined he could at sleepaway camp."
- Donna G.

I personally investigate each program we recommend. We work with top quality summer camps and programs that cater to all types of children, with a wide range of interests and needs. We screen hundreds of programs, visiting camps and interviewing directors and program participants. We ask each of our clients to critique their programs and activites to add to our extensive database. this allows us to pinpoint the best summer camp to match your specific criteria.

We only recommend programs that meet our tough standards for programming, staffing, value and safety. This extra research will give you confidence that you will have a positive experience at the program you choose. As a member of the American Camping Association, Judy Macnow's Camp and Tour Consultants also uphold the high standards of that organization.

"Judy, you are a pleasure to work with—a wealth of knowledge. My children both had success with the programs you suggested. My daughter had a FANTASTIC summer!"
- H. Rubin

Plan Ahead:

It's never too early or too late to plan for the summer. We take calls or meet with kids and their parents throughout the year. Many of our clients like to visit camps while they are in session to plan for the following summer. That allows them to see the facilities and meet with directors first-hand. If you would like to do this, we can help you plan the trip. We'll make recommendations based on your needs and desires. We'll help set up the visitation schedule and offer suggestions for overnight stays and travel tips.

So, whether this is your first overnight camp experience or the newest adventure in a long line of summer activities, call us now. Finding you a safe, fun, enriching summer program is our number one priority.
