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.

The experiences they have at summer camp will

stay with them for the rest of their lives.

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.

New FRIENDS

Spending an entire summer together also creates

strong bonds between children.

It’s not uncommon for camp buddies to stay friends through

adulthood- especially now that

social media

makes it easy to stay in touch.

It’s normal for you- and your child- to be nervous

about this new adventure.

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.
