Summer Camps

2O132O13

It can be difficult to envision warm summer days when the wind is blowing and the snow is falling. However, the winter months are

a great time to explore summer camp options. In fact, many camps have strict enrollment timelines that require decisions to be made prior to spring.Attending summer camp has been a tradition in the United States for more than 150 years. Statistics indicate that around 30 million American kids attend summer camp each year. There are many benefits to summer camp. Camp enables children to stay engaged during the summer when there may be limited interaction with school friends. It also gives parents both a safe and viable daycare solution during the summer.Summer camp pulls together children from different neighbor-hoods, social classes and backgrounds, which can make it a good place to meet new people -- some of whom may become lifelong friends. Camps also provide a variety of activities that can chal-lenge children to try new things that go beyond their comfort zones.Some children are very receptive to the idea of attending summer camp. Others need a little coaxing. But summer camp should never be forced on a child who does not want to go. In such instances, consider local daytime programs that may fill the void instead of programs that require being away from home. Once the decision for summer camp is made, there are some questions to answer.* What are your finances like? Do you have a budget for summer camp?* What size camp do you desire?* Should the camp be co-ed or single sex?* How far do you want your child to travel for summer camp? What are the options in your area?* Are there any camps that have been recommended by friends or family members?* What kinds of activities do your children enjoy? These types of questions will help you narrow down your options. Then you can visit and interview camps to find one that is the best fit.

for Camp1. Visit the camp, if at all possible, and meet the camp director.

2. Talk to other families who have gone to the camp in years past to familiarize yourself with what goes on.

3. Have your child spend a weekend with a friend. No phone calls. Talk about it with your child afterwards. How did your child feel the second night?

4. Go over the daily schedule with your child so there are no surprises. Learn as much as you can about camp life.

5. Teach your child how to care for him/herself. Chil-dren need to know how to select appropriate clothing, make a bed with clean sheets, put clothes away, set a table, carry out chores, handle laundry, etc.

6. Problem solve with your child by using “what if” situations to prepare for unexpected events. What if you lose your baseball glove? What if you don’t get along with another child? What if you don’t feel well? Let your child brainstorm for solutions and make sure they know the “chain of command” at camp for handling problems.

7. Familiarize your child with the outdoors. Many city children are unfamiliar with total darkness and country

night sounds. Practice walking in the dark with a flashlight.

8. Homesickness is fairly common. Missing home, parents, pets or friends is pretty normal. It is part of growing up and leaving home. Speak openly about it and your child will experience these feelings with less anxiety and more understanding. Camp staff is trained to help your child through these ups and downs.

9. Discuss communication at camp. Does your camp allow phone calls? Letters or postcards are best al-though now camps have fax and email. Give your child stamped envelopes and postcards already addressed. Practice letter writing. The more your child writes to others, the more mail he/she will receive!

10. Communicate with camp officials. Let them know if there are special circumstances or considerations regarding your child’s well being or behavior.

11. Send letters to your child before camp begins so mail is waiting when he/she arrives. Write daily keep-ing it simple. Send the sports or comics from the local newspaper, a cute card, a package with a word game, etc.

12. Prepare yourself for your child going off to camp. You have chosen the best camp for your child and he/she will have a wonderful summer full of fun, new friends, new songs and many exciting experiences.
