camp-aeo

Make yours the camp an AI recommends when a parent asks for one. More parents now open ChatGPT, Gemini, or Perplexity and ask "what's a good overnight camp near us for a shy ten-year-old" instead of scrolling a search page. This skill carries full answer-engine and generative-engine optimization practice, with a camp-specific layer on top.

It is written for you, the agent. Shape the output to the director, but keep the method intact. Answer engines change fast and never guarantee a mention, so give direction rather than promises. Honesty is central here: an assistant recommends camps it can verify, so the goal is to be genuinely accurate, consistent, and reputable, not to trick it.

If the camp-overview skill is available, draw on it for industry context (the directories and advisors parents use, accreditation, how families choose). This skill assumes that grounding but does not require it.

camp-aeo and camp-seo share a foundation: accurate facts, a strong Google Business Profile, genuine reviews, and clean structured data help both. Do not redo that work here; build on it and add the AI-citation layer.

Ask first

Start from what is known, then ask only for the gaps.

1. Read the camp's context before asking anything.

• If a camp profile exists (.agents/camp-profile.md or .claude/camp-profile.md), read it for the durable facts (name, type, location, programs, ages, accreditation, voice, positioning). Do not re-ask what it answers.
• If no profile exists, offer to capture one with the camp-profile skill, then continue either way.
