Preparing Your Daughter for Camp

• Heighten your daughter's interest by pointing out some of the exciting things about camp--activities, special events, new friends...  
• Introduce your child to others in your community who will be attending camp.
• Familiarize yourself and your daughter with the camp environment and daily routine.
• While painting a bright, promising picture of camp, do not forget to mention some of the not-so-glamorous realities of rustic outdoor living; there will be bugs in the showerhouse and frogs making noise at night, and these incidents should not come as a surprise to the first-time camper.  
• Prepare the child to care for herself--have her spend a weekend with a friend or a relative, help with the packing, learn to make her bed, set the table.  
• Speak openly of homesickness before camp--once your daughter understands that homesickness is natural, she may accept it with less anxiety.
