Homesick Helper

We know for some campers this can be a difficult time, especially if it is their first time away from camp. We try to keep everyone busy during the day with fun activities, but evenings and down time can be difficult. As a general rule we don't allow campers to call home during camp.

Calls home will only be made as a last resort and we ask you keep the call to less than 10 minutes as homesick children will often try to stay connected as long as possible. Calls will only be made after alerting you to your child's distress and feelings. Please recognize every situation is unique in this area and counselors will do their very best to keep your child at camp without needing that call home. Please go over the following infographic and if needed, discuss some of the ideas with your child but don't share the picture with them.
