What if my camper is Homesick?
Going away to camp can sometimes be a challenging experience. We understand parent concerns and will work with you to insure that your child has a positive experience. Our first practice is very simple - prevention. We've found that keeping children busy, busy, busy is the best homesickness prevention around. Sometimes, however, children still experience varying degrees of anxiety.
We will counsel a homesick camper and try to help them through their difficulty. Most times, we are successful. If time is passing and your child is not adjusting well, we will phone you to report and discuss courses of action. Experience shows that only 1-2 campers out of 2,000 go home due to homesickness each summer.
You can help to prepare your child by providing them with short opportunities to be away from you in a safe environment. Have them spend the night with friends or relatives. Talk to them about what they will be doing at camp. Provide them with stamped addressed envelopes so they can write to you. If homesickness has been a problem in the past, have them make a commitment to stick it out. Let them know that they will not be able to call home but that you will send letters and they can write to you. We will work with you to help them be successful so that they will feel proud of their accomplishment at the end of their session!.
