The New York Times called Jill an "expert" for summer. That’s because she takes the time to understand the personality and needs of each individual family and child – and tailors her recommendations accordingly. Her objective guidance helps you find a program that’s just right.

A professional summer program planner and consultant for over 15 years, Jill and her seasoned team have researched more than 2,000 programs and helped families worldwide plan the “right” summer. Her unique Everything Summer^® evaluation process is focused on safety, well-being, family values, and “personality fit” between kids and programs. She and her team visit camps/programs in season and personally interview Directors throughout the year to understand each program’s profile, culture, and priorities – enabling her to give first-hand insights to her client families.

Everything Summer^® is the resource professionals, food allergy organizations, psychologists, directors, educational consultants and college advisors turn to for independent and expert guidance for their clients’ needs. They are seeking unbiased advice that is not tied to any program compensation, so clients have a true advocate. Because of this, Everything Summer^® is invited to speak about camp, summer planning and parenting topics at schools, corporations, communities and conferences.
