How successful were New York Family and ACA-NY's Camp Fairs in 2008-2009?

... Ask the PARENTS

"The advertising and marketing done by Manhattan Media attracted TONS of potential camp families. We can't wait to sign up for next years shows!"

— Xio Fraser

“The camp fair was wonderful. It was nice to meet people that will actually be with our kids and ask questions instead of just getting information from hearsay or online.”

— Annette G. Rodriguez

“My son loved it. He DID NOT want to go before the fair and after he could not wait to sign up!”

— Lori

... Ask the CAMPS

"Both fairs on Saturday and Sunday were very successful for Campus Kids. I feel that many of the families we talked to will become part of the Campus Kids community."

- Brad Finkelstein, Camp Director - Campus Kids CT

 

 

“This was one of the best camp fairs that I have been to in the past two years!”

- Jeff Grabow, Owner/Director, Camp Echo

 

"The camp fairs at the Berkeley Carroll school and Friends Seminary, were amongst the best attended of the year. The steady flow of qualified leads has proven to be a worthy investment for us and we'll be back in 2010"

- Dov Shapiro, Owner/Director, Camp Chateaugay

 

 

"Thank you for organizing an outstanding series of camp fairs. The events gave us the opportunity to connect with families from all parts of Manhattan. The fairs were well attended and brought a diverse group of potential campers, many of whom decided to attend Woodmont. We will definitely be back next year!"

—Sam Borek, Woodmont Day Camp

 

“The Blackboard Camp Fairs are well-marketed and organized for prospective camp families to meet camp directors. We meet terrific families every year at each fair!”

—Will Rubenstein, Camp Wingate*Kirkland

 

 

Here is what's going on for the 2009-2010 Camp Fairs!

New York Family & ACA-NY will once again be running camp fairs in November & January on the Upper East and Upper West sides of Manhattan, to give the camps multiple opportunities to reach out to the desirable Uptown Manhattan market.

Manhattan Media will be widely publicizing the event to surpass the success of last year’s fairs and ensure that the new fairs attain the same level of success that camps have come to rely on.

• Full page ads will run in NY Family magazine, the # 1 magazine for parents in Manhattan & Brooklyn
• Full page ads will run weekly beginning in September in Our Town & West Side Spirit, the largest community newspapers in Manhattan.
• The camp fair will be listed on parenting websites catering to Manhattan & Brooklyn parents such as GoCityKids.com, Insideschools.org, Parkslopeparents.com, and others
• Flyers will be placed in schools throughout Manhattan & Brooklyn as well as students' backpacks so that parents can stay informed through their child's school.

We look forward to seeing you at the 6th Annual Camp Fair Series.
Space is limited so sign up early!!
