Each listing page can be listed in a category (e.g. Academic or Sports). While program managers can suggest categories, final choice is made by Summer-Daycamps.com editors.

7. How do I add Google Video to my Detailed Page?
If you have a Paid Membership you have the ability to add Google Video to your Detailed Page. Here are some quick instructions to get you started with Google Video. First go to http://video.google.com/ On the right hand side you can sign in, and below that there is a link to create a new account. You may need to validate your account using the email address you signed up with. Once you've created your account and logged in, you will be able to upload videos.
On the right hand column, near the top, there is an area called My Videos with two links. The first is Upload Videos, where you can post new videos online, the second is Uploaded Videos, where you can view and modify the videos you already have online.
Upload your video and enter in all the relevant information. It may take a few minutes to upload, depending on the size of the video. The largest you can upload is 100MB, so make sure your video is smaller than that. After you've uploaded your video, login in to Summer-DayCamps.com and modify any one of your camps. Near the bottom of the modify form, just before the pictures, is a place to enter your Google Video docId.
Add Streaming Video To add streaming video to your listing, you need to first upload it to Google Video. Then update the "docId" when you are adding or modifying a camp. To delete a video, enter 0.
