- My child has expressed an interest in attending camp.
- My child enjoys sleepovers with friends.
- My child has spent time away from home.
- My child has previous camp experience.
- My child does well at day camp and seems ready for more activities.
Chances are if any of the above statements sound familiar, your child is ready to attend
sleep away camp. A residential camp experience is a logical step towards helping your
child gain independence, self confidence, and a summer of unforgettable memories that
will last a lifetime, but only if your child is ready and the camp is a good match for
you and your family.
Some concerns that arise while deciding if your child is ready for overnight camp
include homesickness, choice of activities, the “right” kinds of kids, safety,
cost, convenience, type of environment, long-term options, and the staff.
