PREPARING YOUR CHILD FOR CAMP

Whether this is your child's first visit to camp or they are a veteran camper, the experience can be an adventure and a memory of a lifetime. Any trip away from home can be a little scary for a child. Below are a few suggestions that may help get your child ready for camp and fully enjoy their experience.

Talk about the activities they will be doing at camp: swimming, hiking, arts & crafts, fishing, canoeing, and making new friends. Let them know that there are adults who will be watching over them and directing them through the activities.

Decide what to pack. Go through the list of clothing suggestions and get them ready together. Make sure they have sneakers and socks. For the younger child it is a good idea to pack each days clothing together in a group so that they know what to wear.

Send a letter. Everyone likes to get mail. It makes them feel important. Mail it even before your child leaves home to ensure it gets here in time! Letters can be sent to 20864 Rector Road Nevada City, CA 95959. Include your child’s name and camp session dates.

Celebrate the homecoming. Plan a special dinner for the evening your child returns and make a welcome home sign.
