Visit CAMP TV
I chose CAMP TV to film and edit my DVD/CD set, "The Secret
Ingredients of Summer Camp Success" because no other camp-savvy video
production house had CAMP TV's level of creativity and expertise. When you pick CAMP TV to produce your next
promotional DVD, you can expect to have a ton of fun during filming and a team
of editors who will shape your concept into a final cut that truly reflects
that magic of your camp. I've seen some
camps try to produce a DVD in-house, with a staff member that says he knows
video. Trust me. Work with CAMP TV instead.

Visit C&N Footlocker
In our book, "The Summer Camp Handbook," co-author Dr. Jon Malinowski and I expound on the importance of a sturdy footlocker. Why? Because at camp, a footlocker isn't just a suitcase, it's a card table, a top bunk step, and a landing pad for Tarzan swings off the rafters. If your campers' footlockers aren't kid-proof, they're worthless. C&N footlockers are worth every penny because they are remarkably durable, packed with features (such as wheels and water-resistant liners), and--get this--backed by a lifetime warrantee. This is the one footlocker to own forever.

Visit Target Directories Corp
"When it came to creating CampSpirit.com, I turned to Target Directories first. I knew that their expertise with search engine optimization, combined with their clean design sensibility and knowledge of the camp world, was a recipe for success. My website is beautiful, loaded with content, and easy to navigate. Naturally, it was Target I trusted to create ExpertOnlineTraining.com, the home for my online video training modules. The technical and artistic talents of the Target team have produced another gorgeous site with tremendous functionality. Best of all, the site pops right up at the top of any Google search for 'online camp staff training.' There's no better or more experienced web development team in the camp space than Target Directories.

Visit AMSkier
A friend in the car insurance business once told me that it
is impossible to compare the quality of policies on the basis of the quantity of coverage. What matters instead is how your claim is
handled. AMSkier Insurance has become the camp industry's
premier insurer not only because all claims are handled with such comprehensive
care, but also because the education and training they provide helps make camps
even safer places. As a parent and a
longtime camp waterfront director, I heartily endorse AMSkier Insurance and their
proactive mission to protect children and staff.

Visit CampRegister
Visit eCamp
Nowhere is the thoughtful application of technology to camps
more evident than in these two remarkable companies-now working together as a
single entity. On the CampRegister end,
camps have the best camper registration and event planning software in the
industry, backed by expert customer support (the part you'll really appreciate). On the eCamp end, camps have the easiest to
use and most sophisticated set of tools that allowing kids and parents to stay
connected in healthy ways, such as one-way e-mails, secure photo postings, and
electronic journals.
