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.
