1. Start the conversation. Camp is a mystery to some kids. Make it tangible by walking them through the details – tell them what they’ll pack in their backpacks, how drop off & pick up will work, who will be with them and what they’ll do all day. Ask the camp for a schedule so you can be detailed.
2. Pack comfort food. If you’re packing lunch, sneak in one or two of your little one’s favorites for the first week. If not, ask about sending a special snack.
3. Orient your little one. Take a tour of camp with your child. See the facilities, meet the director and, if possible, see his/her classroom. The more your little one knows what to expect on day 1, the better.
