Sending your youngster off for his first summer away at sleepaway camp is a huge event for many parents

How will your little one ever survive without your protection and guidance

The answer is probably very well after a bit of initial homesickness

Camp counselors are well trained in the art of making kids at ease with new friends and in unfamiliar surroundings hellip

hellip and while yoursquove been suffering the pangs of parental anxiety at home your camper has been off swimming sailing and giggling around the campfire

Relax and make the big step easier for everyone by following a few helpful hints

Start With a Sleepover

If your youngster hasnrsquot spent overnight time away without you schedule a sleepover with a good friend or with a relative he hasnrsquot stayed with before

ldquo

This will get him a bit more comfortable with staying overnight in less familiar surroundings and also help you realize hersquoll be fine away from home for a while

ldquo

Just donrsquot pick him up if he calls in the middle of the nightldquo

Make A List

Make a list of summer camp essentials with your new camper making sure to include a few little luxuries (not too pricey) like the latest trendy socks

It will make your youngster feel well prepared and also cool enough to ldquofit inrdquo

Once you know what you need go shopping

Kids love to spend your money and can have fun picking out things theyrsquoll be using on their new adventure

One real ice-breaker on a hot day is a hand-held water misting fan sure to draw in lots of new friends in sweaty weather

Realistic Expectations

Have an honest talk with your new camper about expectations

Most parents tell kids theyrsquoll love overnight summer camp which is more than likely the truth but itrsquos good to address the fact that there might be a bit of an adjustment

Let her know some homesickness is perfectly normal and try to brainstorm some ways they might work around it like staying extra-busy or talking to her cabin counselor

If kids are expecting to be perfectly happy right off the bat the first hint of longing for home may send them into a tailspin

The Short Goodbye

Once yoursquore at the big drop-off make your goodbyes short and sweet

You may be feeling teary-eyed and emotional but keep your feelings in check until yoursquore back in the car and on the way home

While you may think a few tears will make your child feel ldquolovedrdquo it may actually just serve to make him feel guilty about leaving you alone and miserable without him

Give him a hug tell him to have fun and above all do NOT tell him yoursquoll come and get him if he doesnrsquot like it hellip

hellip that just sets your camper up for taking the path of least resistance ndash leaving ndash if he feels homesick

News from the Home Front

Kids at sleepaway camp love letters from home and yoursquoll treasure their often entertaining epistles

Hopefully yoursquove packed them some stationary pens and self-addressed stamped envelopes so they have no excuse not to write

Letters should ask lots of questions (and not things like are you lonely ) and make home seem pretty quiet and normal hellip

hellip itrsquos not the time to let them know in on news like a new puppy that may make home seem more exciting than camp

Let them know yoursquore glad they have the chance to have this amazing summer experience hellip

hellip but donrsquot make them feel guilty by rattling on about how lonely the house is without them

Remember summer camp is an amazing experience for your child offering incomparable opportunities for making friends hellip

Page 8: Your Child's First Year at Overnight Summer Camp

Start With a Sleepover

If your youngster hasnrsquot spent overnight time away without you schedule a sleepover with a good friend or with a relative he hasnrsquot stayed with before

ldquo

This will get him a bit more comfortable with staying overnight in less familiar surroundings and also help you realize hersquoll be fine away from home for a while

ldquo

Just donrsquot pick him up if he calls in the middle of the nightldquo

Make A List

Make a list of summer camp essentials with your new camper making sure to include a few little luxuries (not too pricey) like the latest trendy socks

It will make your youngster feel well prepared and also cool enough to ldquofit inrdquo

Once you know what you need go shopping

Kids love to spend your money and can have fun picking out things theyrsquoll be using on their new adventure

One real ice-breaker on a hot day is a hand-held water misting fan sure to draw in lots of new friends in sweaty weather

Realistic Expectations

Have an honest talk with your new camper about expectations

Most parents tell kids theyrsquoll love overnight summer camp which is more than likely the truth but itrsquos good to address the fact that there might be a bit of an adjustment

Let her know some homesickness is perfectly normal and try to brainstorm some ways they might work around it like staying extra-busy or talking to her cabin counselor

If kids are expecting to be perfectly happy right off the bat the first hint of longing for home may send them into a tailspin

The Short Goodbye

Once yoursquore at the big drop-off make your goodbyes short and sweet

You may be feeling teary-eyed and emotional but keep your feelings in check until yoursquore back in the car and on the way home

While you may think a few tears will make your child feel ldquolovedrdquo it may actually just serve to make him feel guilty about leaving you alone and miserable without him

Page 15: Your Child's First Year at Overnight Summer Camp

Once you know what you need go shopping

Kids love to spend your money and can have fun picking out things theyrsquoll be using on their new adventure

One real ice-breaker on a hot day is a hand-held water misting fan sure to draw in lots of new friends in sweaty weather

Realistic Expectations

Have an honest talk with your new camper about expectations

Most parents tell kids theyrsquoll love overnight summer camp which is more than likely the truth but itrsquos good to address the fact that there might be a bit of an adjustment

Let her know some homesickness is perfectly normal and try to brainstorm some ways they might work around it like staying extra-busy or talking to her cabin counselor

If kids are expecting to be perfectly happy right off the bat the first hint of longing for home may send them into a tailspin

The Short Goodbye

Once yoursquore at the big drop-off make your goodbyes short and sweet

You may be feeling teary-eyed and emotional but keep your feelings in check until yoursquore back in the car and on the way home

While you may think a few tears will make your child feel ldquolovedrdquo it may actually just serve to make him feel guilty about leaving you alone and miserable without him

Give him a hug tell him to have fun and above all do NOT tell him yoursquoll come and get him if he doesnrsquot like it hellip

hellip that just sets your camper up for taking the path of least resistance ndash leaving ndash if he feels homesick

News from the Home Front

Kids at sleepaway camp love letters from home and yoursquoll treasure their often entertaining epistles

Hopefully yoursquove packed them some stationary pens and self-addressed stamped envelopes so they have no excuse not to write

Letters should ask lots of questions (and not things like are you lonely ) and make home seem pretty quiet and normal hellip

hellip itrsquos not the time to let them know in on news like a new puppy that may make home seem more exciting than camp

Let them know yoursquore glad they have the chance to have this amazing summer experience hellip

hellip but donrsquot make them feel guilty by rattling on about how lonely the house is without them

Remember summer camp is an amazing experience for your child offering incomparable opportunities for making friends hellip

The Short Goodbye

Once yoursquore at the big drop-off make your goodbyes short and sweet

You may be feeling teary-eyed and emotional but keep your feelings in check until yoursquore back in the car and on the way home

While you may think a few tears will make your child feel ldquolovedrdquo it may actually just serve to make him feel guilty about leaving you alone and miserable without him

Give him a hug tell him to have fun and above all do NOT tell him yoursquoll come and get him if he doesnrsquot like it hellip

hellip that just sets your camper up for taking the path of least resistance ndash leaving ndash if he feels homesick

News from the Home Front

Kids at sleepaway camp love letters from home and yoursquoll treasure their often entertaining epistles

Hopefully yoursquove packed them some stationary pens and self-addressed stamped envelopes so they have no excuse not to write

Letters should ask lots of questions (and not things like are you lonely ) and make home seem pretty quiet and normal hellip

hellip itrsquos not the time to let them know in on news like a new puppy that may make home seem more exciting than camp

Let them know yoursquore glad they have the chance to have this amazing summer experience hellip

hellip but donrsquot make them feel guilty by rattling on about how lonely the house is without them

Remember summer camp is an amazing experience for your child offering incomparable opportunities for making friends hellip

hellip enjoying new experiences growing emotionally and socially and creating magical memories that will last a lifetime

And yoursquoll be just fine for a month or two without him
