Here's some brainstorming ideas I've spitballed together...<br /><br />1) 4 hours is a great start. However, longer camps are better for many parents, who need to continue to work, and need a place for their kids when school is out. You may consider a camp in the morning and a camp in the afternoon, with a special deal if people sign up for both (say 10% off or something). Lunch might then be expected. Also, 9am is probably the latest your camp can start, if you can handle it.<br /><br />2) Random idea: How about a little free coffee in the morning for the parents who drop off the kids, just so they can get to know the other parents, and get to know your store. Maybe even be demoing games?<br /><br />3) Our local weekly arts paper here has an annual summer camp issue (already came out...). This is one very good place to spend advertising dollars for a specific purpose I think - that particular issue. Your locals may not have done theirs yet, but I bet the deadline is soon. And think about it for next year (and think early, like March).<br /><br />4) How about a MTG Camp and a Pokemon camp? Geared towards your same age group as the other 2 camps. Kids get a new theme deck each day, and maybe a couple of boosters to modify it, and then get a deck building clinic for 30mins-1 hour, and then a quick tournament. Maybe on another day, have a draft tournament to show them how to handle that. Finally, have a big tournament on the last day, with prizes and cake.librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00910979028549627470noreply@blogger.com
