Answering these questions will help you
determine when your child is ready for camp.
- What is your child's age? Children under
age 7 may not adjust easily to being away
from home. Consider the day camp experience
to prepare them for future overnight camp.
- How did your child become interested
in camp? Does your child talk about camp
and camp activities on a sustained basis?
How much persuasion is necessary from
you?
- Has your child had positive overnight
experiences away from home? Visiting relatives
or friends? Were these separations easy
or difficult?
- What does your child expect to do at
camp? Learning about the camp experience
ahead of time allows you to create positive
expectations.
- Are you able to share consistent and
positive messages about camp? Your confidence
in a positive experience will be contagious.
