3. Summer camp represents
independence and freedom
for kids who embrace the
opportunity to spend several
weeks away from home.

4. Yet, new and younger
campers sometimes need a
little help getting over those
jitters that accompany trying
something new.

5. Now that the opening date for
summer camp is just around
the corner, you can use these
strategies to help your child
prepare emotionally for a
fun-filled season.

7. While you might not be able to send your child to camp until the
season opens, you can still find ways for them to practice spending
the night away from home.

8. For younger children, ask a family member or a close friend if your
child can stay at their house for a night or two.

9. This gives both you and your child a chance to get used to spending
time apart overnight.

10. And you can ask for a report from your loved one that helps you
gauge your child’s readiness.

12. Camp is the one place where
kids can try out tons of new
activities they would never be
able to do at home.

13. After all, most families just
don’t have aerial hoops
hanging in a state-of-the-art
gym.

14. And your kid would never be
able to go waterskiing in the
backyard pool.
Talk to your children about a
few of the amazing things
they will get to try this
summer.

15. Then, watch some videos
online of people performing
tricks in your child’s favorite
sport.

16. You might also help them
practice a few skills that they
can do at home to increase
the excitement.

17. For instance, your little
gymnast could practice
stretching to prepare for their
trampoline training.

19. Up until this point, your son
or daughter has always
known that they could reach
you easily any time they
needed help.

20. While you know that you are
still just a short trip away,
your little camper may worry
about how they will handle
things on their own.

21. Typically, summer camp
programs encourage
parents to limit phone calls.
This allows kids to have a
chance to develop their
independence.

22. However, you can still set it
up so that your kid can send
special messages to you
online using their summer
camp’s email service.

23. Once that is set up, help
them pick out some
awesome stationary and
stock them up on stamps so
that they know it’s possible
to let you know how things
are going.

25. While homesickness is
always a concern, kids
today also worry about
leaving behind their
online social life.

26. If your child is used to
turning to their
smartphone to relieve
boredom or catch up
with an old friend, then
help them start to
break the habit now by
implementing
technology breaks at
home.

27. Grab some board
games, books and art
supplies to keep your
kid busy, or encourage
them to get out of the
house and go for a
bike ride.

28. Either way, he or she
will be better able to
walk away from their
electronic devices
without suffering from
feelings of withdrawal.

29. Whether your kid is
going to camp for the
first time or just seems
a little nervous this
year, keep in mind that
they are also looking
to you to figure out
how to feel.

30. As you talk to them
about their upcoming
season, remember to
reflect confidence and
excitement about the
many adventures
offered at their new
home away from
home.
