Review regulatory documents. Sanitary requirements for children's camps are pretty tight, they must be observed. This is especially for the camp around the clock stay of children. Note that in either case you will have to invite employees of the sanitary-epidemiological service. So just try to fulfill all the legal requirements.

Select the direction of the camp. It can be health, sports, labor, aesthetic, intellectual. Think about what children will study there. Try to enlist the support of local authorities.

With the support of the local authorities, you can get funding from the budget. However, only in the case if you care about the future of the camp about a year before its opening.
