How to deal with childs homesickness or anxiety?
Setting Expectations with Your Child
Prep Your Child for Camp Guidelines and Rules
Whether it’s your child’s first year at camp, or they are a seasoned camper and need a little refresher, it’s a good idea to go over summer camp rules and guidelines before leaving for camp. Talking about camp rules with your child will help them understand exactly what is expected of them and that you believe they can be successful while at camp. Knowing the rules can potentially help to relieve anxiety and reduce the chances of homesickness or other behavioral issues while away.
Don’t worry – talking about the rules at camp doesn’t need to be a lecture. If you went to camp as a kid, then you can use your own experience to relay why certain camp rules make sense. You don’t need to talk about the rules all at once; instead, spread them out into small conversations in the weeks leading up to camp. This way, your child won’t feel overwhelmed when the rules are reviewed on the first day. Camp rules are in place to keep the camp community safe and camp operations running smoothly throughout their stay.
Can I call my child anytime I want to?
Cell phone usage is prohibited during camp activities. Cell phones may be used at the dorms, at meals, and break time (prior to lights out). Campers are solely responsible for cell phones.
My child wants to take his her tablet or skateboard?
Campers may not bring the following to camp: tobacco, drugs, alcohol, knives, firearms, matches, fireworks, paintball or air soft guns, energy drinks, gum, electronic audio or visual devices or games, comic books or magazines, skateboards, scooters, roller blades, bicycles, etc. Any questionable items will be confiscated for safe keeping and returned at the end of camp. Camp provides many fun activities, and these items will distract the campers.
Camp management does not take any responsibility for any electronic device loss or damage!!!
