If you are sending your children
to summer camp for the first time then you may be feeling ANXIOUS.

Will they make friends ? … Will they be homesick ?
Should you have waited another year?
Sleepaway camp is a great way to
empower your children and teach them
how to become independent.

Learning new hobbies
Children are exposed to so many new activities at sleepaway camp that they are sure to come home with at least one or two new hobbies.
Part of growing up is learning
how to take risks.
Risk-taking in a safe environment
Sometimes it is easier to do
this when you aren’t in the
shadow of Mom and Dad.

“Children learn to rely on Mom and Dad when they know they are right behind them waiting to clean up
their messes- both physical and emotional.”
New Independence
When kids see that they can handle things all by
themselves it will give them confidence
that will continue long after they return from camp.

Sport Skills
“At camp kids can try out a variety of sports in one place.”
It allows children to find
which sports they excel at
and which sports they may want to continue to
pursue.

It’s not uncommon for camp buddies to stay friends through
adulthood- especially now that
social media
makes it easy to stay in touch.
However, it won’t be long before your child is deeply involved in camp activities and you start to wonder
whether you will ever get an email.
When they finally do come back you will
see the changes in them and know you
made the right decision.
