Getting ready for camp

Here are a few tips to get reluctant younger kids camp ready (note this is regarding day camp)

• Talk with your kids about the activities, schedules, etc…but don’t harp on it. Camp can be intimidating so there is no need bring it up every 5 minutes. Be casual – kids will take their cues from you.
• Don’t hang around during the drop-off. Be fast people! The longer you stay – the more tears will fall. Walk away. The camp staff will re-direct your child.
• Pack well. Extra underwear never hurt anyone.
• Eat well. Healthy, fun snacks make camp a bit more fun.
