Survive without a Smartphone. The proliferation of cell phones at summer camp has prompted many a camp director to ban or severely limit their use during camp sessions. Others are able to avoid the problem altogether because their camps are delightfully “out of range.” Either way, it’s important to prep your camper to live without his mobile for the duration of his camp stay. Better yet: Encourage him to leave the pricey equipment at home (although you may as well encourage him to leave

OR HUNDREDS of thousands of kids every year, summer camp offers a brief, but intense, introduction to independent living. Away from the helping hands of parents and siblings, many campers

are startled to find themselves responsible for, well, themselves for the first time in their lives. Most rise to the challenge, finding responsibility and independence a thrilling glimpse into the world of growing up. But others flounder, relying heavily on new friends and counselors to help them through their stay at camp. Although camp staff members are happy to provide assistance when it’s needed, your campers will learn more and feel better if they can do things for themselves. If you’re one of those parents who is constantly surprised by the things your kids know how to do — troubleshoot your home computer, program the DVR, make fabulous grilled cheese sandwiches — you’ll be amazed at the things they don’t know how to do. Don’t send your kids to camp without teaching them these basic skills.

things to teach them before they go

his right arm at home!). Most camps discourage cell phones and texting, but many provide telephones for “emergency” use, as in the case of the camper runs out of money or scores the winning goal in a big game. Other times, a quick phone call home can reassure a homesick camper or calm a nervous parent. Make sure your camper agrees to the camp’s stated policy regarding mobile phones, Facebook, texting and the like. There’s no sense spending the money on camp if your child is going to spend the whole time staring at his phone.

Make a Bed.

Do Laundry.

If your camper is going to be away for an extended period of time in a cabin or a dorm, at some point he’s going to want clean sheets. (See laundry section below.) And, after his sheets are clean, he’s going to need to put them on his bed. Of course, if he makes his bed every morning, he may avoid having to do laundry by keeping unwanted dirty shoes, snack crumbs and creepy crawlies out of his sheets. Besides, going to bed is always nicer when your sheets are straight and your blankets are tucked in.

Campers often come to camp with enough clothes that they won’t have to do laundry while they are away from home. Some camp sessions are very short, and some campers bring A LOT of clothes. If your camper is going to be away for a few weeks, and laundry facilities are available at his camp, you may want to consider packing fewer items and more laundry detergent. His bags will be lighter, and

there will be less to lose. You don’t have to go into the theory behind separating lights and darks; he’s just going to wash them all together anyway. But make sure you pre-wash any new clothes before they go to camp ... especially the red stuff. If t he camp doesn’t have laundry facilities for camper use, consider teaching your children how to wash things by hand. No one wants to come up short in the underwear department.

Eat Right. At many camps, kids are offered several choices at mealtimes. They can choose wisely and enjoy a high energy level and overall well-being during their camp stay. Or they can choose poorly and suffer the many consequences, ranging from fatigue and irregularity to sugar highs and headaches. Remind your campers to go easy on the sugar and junk food and fill up on complex carbohydrates, proteins, fruits and vegetables instead.

Hydrate. Camp staff members are trained to offer kids plenty of water and cool drinks during sports practices, outdoor activities and meals. But not all kids understand that they need to drink liquids - even when their favorite soda (or flavored water or fruit juice) isn’t one of the choices. A snazzy new water bottle may go a long way toward convincing your daughter to stay hydrated while she’s on the go at camp.

Medicate a Headache. Camps handle over-the-counter medications differently, so if your child regularly takes OTC medicines like Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl or Sudafed for common aches or allergies, you’ll have to ask what to do. Most camps require that all medications be dispensed through the camp infirmary, but others allow campers to self-medicate minor aches and pains with OTC medications brought from home. If the camp allows self-medication, and you are comfortable with your child doing so, teach your child how to determine the correct dosage (amount and frequency) for every medication you send. Don’t forget to tell them to let a counselor know when they need these medications. Even if they don’t need help taking them, you’ll want a responsible adult to monitor health-related concerns, in case they develop into something more serious.

YOU THINK YOU CAN SAVE?

If the camp does not allow self-medication, respect their rules and make sure you give them the information they’ll need to help your child feel his best every day. Encourage your child to communicate with the appropriate camp staff member(s) about health concerns as they arise.

Take a Shower. Pre-teen campers are notorious for their inability to attend to matters of personal hygiene. Daily showers, toothbrushing, deodorant. These trivial concepts are easily overlooked in the morning rush to breakfast. After all, what’s a little body odor between friends when there’s only so much Cap’n Crunch to go around? Because campers are embarrassed by hygiene talk and they have extremely limited access to extra toiletry supplies, this is a tricky issue for counselors to handle. Make sure your campers know that proper hygiene is a health concern, as well as a social concern. And send them with plenty of soap, deodorant and other necessary items.

THIS COULD BE YOU!

Spot Poison Ivy/ Poison Oak. You know the drill, but do your kids? If it’s green and has three leaves, stay away from it. Even though it may just be Virginia Creeper, you don’t want to take any chances. Wash with soap and water immediately if you come into contact with something suspicious.

Kill a Bug. Whether they stay in a tent or a dorm or somewhere in between, your campers are going to come across some bugs this summer. If they can’t live with it, they’re going to have to kill it. Try to prepare them for their own starring role in Shoe vs. Spider. If they can’t handle that, maybe they’re up for Rolled-Up Magazine Meets Cockroach.

Find Help. No matter where your children are — summer camp, a school dance, the local mall — or how old they are, the one thing they must know how to do is find help. Talk with them about when and how to locate a trustworthy adult. Assure them that they should never be afraid to ask for assistance if they are uncomfortable in a situation, that they never need to handle a problem alone, that it’s OK to seek help and that no question is ever too stupid to be asked. With a little advance preparation, your campers will be able to handle whatever obstacles come their way, be they spiders, dirty socks or long-distance phone calls!

Summer Starters Projects to get you in the mood for summer fun BY DENISE MORRISON YEARIAN

EEP SUMMER CAMP adventures and experiences alive in years to come by creating a summer camp memory book and memento box. And if all this crafting zaps you of energy, stir up a batch of Fruity Fiber Trail Mix to munch on now and take to camp later. (Note these crafts can be converted to reflect summer vacation experiences too.)

SUMMER CAMP MEMORY BOOK Computer Card stock Construction paper Glue Markers Hole punch Yarn or brads Photographs

1. Use card stock and a computer to create a cover page, page titles and entry headings (see steps 2-8). 2. Type a cover page titled, “Sum-

mer Camp Memory Book.” Under it include your name, age, name of camp and dates of attendance, giving each entry its own line. Embellish the border with decorations. 3. Type a preparations page titled, “Gearing Up” and include two entries: “What I did to prepare for camp” and “Things I packed.” Add a series of lines after the second entry to write down your packing list. 4. Include several pages titled, “Point of Contact” for keeping in touch with friends and loved ones. If you are attending a residential

camp, type one entry titled, “Letters to Send” which lists names and addresses of people you want to write letters and postcards to while you are away. Create another entry titled, “Letters and Packages Received.” Also add an entry called, “Keep in Touch” with lines for filling in names and contact information of new friends you make at camp. 5. Create a travel page titled, “All Aboard” with headings that include events and activities that happened in route to camp: “How long it took to drive to camp,” “Who took me,” “How

I got there,” “Who went to camp with me,” “Unusual things we saw along the way” and “Stops we made.” Consider adding a second page with similar entries for the ride home. 6. Create a page for first impressions titled, “At First Glimpse” and include such entries as “What I did when I got there,” “How I felt upon arrival,” “Initial impressions of counselors and campers” and “New people I met.” These pages can be either filled in at camp or when you return home. 7. Include one page for daily experiences titled, “Close Encounters” and add such entries as “What the weather was like at camp,” “What I did in the mornings,” “...in the afternoons,” “...at night,” “Classes or sessions attended,” “What my free time consisted of” and “Dining hall experiences—foods I ate for breakfast... lunch...dinner.”

8. Create several superlative pages titled, “The Good, Bad and Ugly.” Include such entries as, “Best food at camp,” “Worst food...,” “My favorite activity,” “My least favorite...,” “New friends I made,” “My best camp friend,” “My favorite counselor,” “New things I learned,” “The funniest thing that happened at camp,” “The worst thing that happened at camp” and “Overall best part of camp.” Leave plenty of room after each entry to embellish with descriptions and stories. 9. Mount all pages on colored construction paper using glue. 10. Assemble pages in order, threehole punch and bind with brads or yarn. 11. Take a camera with you to camp and snap pictures throughout your stay. When you return home fill in the pages, paste in photos and illustrate other experiences.

Day camp: preparing for BY DENISE YEARIAN

UMMER DAY CAMP is a place where children can stretch their minds, exercise their bodies, develop new interests and create lasting friendships. For young children, it is a good introduction to the camp experience. For older ones, it is a way to enjoy the activities without the overnight option. Day camp programs vary from one setting to the next. So how do you help your child make

the most of his day camp experience?

First is to find the right program. When choosing a day camp, consider what you and your child want from the experience. Day camps offer a host of options that include everything from one centralized activity to a variety of traditional camp fun. Talk with your child about his interests. Would he enjoy an assortment of activities or does he want to concentrate on one skill, such as soccer or art? Next consider program length. Day camps range from several hours to a full day and can run from one-week long to an entire summer. How long your child should participate in a program will depend largely upon his age, developmental level and previous camp experience. First-time campers would do well starting in a partial- to full-week program. Experienced campers may enjoy one that runs throughout the summer. Even if your child decides to stay at camp all summer, allow a few weeks break between school and camp (and vice versa) for down time. Camp location is another factor to consider. If you choose a day camp close to home, commute time will

be less and your child may already be acquainted with some of the other children. A day camp near your employer would give you quick access to your child in the event of an emergency. But if your child has additional morning or afternoon childcare, you may want to consider a program close to your sitter. Once a camp has been chosen, call and ask for information regarding staff, facilities and cost. Find out what the camper-to-counselor ratio is. Ideally it should be six campers to one counselor, as recommended by the American Camping Association. What experience and/ or training do the counselors have? How are they selected? What is the camp’s discipline policy? Can they accommodate health concerns such as asthma, allergies and dispensing medicine? Ask about indoor and outdoor facilities. Is there enough space indoors for the children to play in inclement weather? What do the children do if it rains all week? Is the outdoor equipment and grounds well maintained and safe? Are the children’s swimming skills tested before they are allowed to en-

ter the water? Are there staff, certified in lifesaving, present during water activities? When inquiring about camp cost, ask about additional fees. Some day camps have a base price but charge extra for trips, special events and activities. If the camp you want to send your child to is more than you can afford, find out if there is a scholarship program. Also ask about a refund policy in the event of an illness or family emergency. Finally, arrange a pre-visit. Many day camps have open houses prior to season start up. Find out if the camp you have chosen has one. If not, make other arrangements to introduce yourself to those who will be caring for your child. Since open houses are a good time to gather information, jot down any other questions you have before leaving home. More than likely they will be addressed at open house. If not, ask for the opportunity to personally speak with someone before securing your deposit. During your pre-visit, you may receive medical and emergency contact forms. The medical form is the place to list medications, health

conditions and other concerns. This is a time to be thorough and specific. If your child was on a medication during the school year but will be taken off of it for the summer, make sure the camp is aware of this as it could cause an extreme change in behavior. Allergies are another issue to make counselors aware of, be it insect or food related. Equally important is to share other concerns with camp staff, such as if your family is going through a divorce or has experienced a recent death as this may affect how your child interacts throughout the day. Remember camps look out for the physical and emotional needs of your child so the more information you provide, the better equipped they will be. Another form you will need to fill out is for emergency contact. This is the person you are designating to take your child in the event of an emergency. While it is imperative to have an appointed individual, equally important is that the person knows she is designated as such. Every year camps have situations where they call the emergency contact person listed and she was not informed she was such. The best advice is to check with that individual before writing the name down. During your visit, the camp should give you materials on camp policies, procedures and planned activities. If you and your child know what to expect and what is expected of you, camp will run smoother. Most camps have a weekly schedule so parents know what the upcoming activities are. Talk with you child about what is planned. If she

cannot participate due to health reasons, make sure you (not your child) inform the camp. In recent years, some day camps have developed strict policies regarding technology items and ask that cell phones, handheld games and other tech toys be left at home. Their philosophy is day camps are designed to be enriching experiences and the children should be engaging in these activities rather than playing with electronics. If restricted items are brought to camp, they may be confiscated and returned at the end of the day in hopes the child gets the message. Sometime before camp starts stock up on supplies your child will need. This may include food and/ or snacks, water bottles, clothes, back packs, towels, sunscreen and bug repellent. When these items are purchased, pick up a permanent marker so you can label all items going to camp. Include your child’s name, address and phone number so the staff will recognize who it belongs to if it is left behind. This also avoids confusion if identical items are brought by two children. While you are shopping, talk with your child about the type of clothing he will need to wear. One thing camp directors often see is children coming to camp with the wrong dress. Some kids want to pick out their own clothes, but if they have chosen black jeans and/ or a dark t-shirt, it may not be the best option. Another thing to avoid is clothing with strings attached as they may get caught on play equipment. Make sure your child

adventures close to home is dressed for comfort, safety and appropriate temperatures. Proper shoes are important too, particularly if she is playing outside. Avoid strappy sandals and flip flops; opt for tennis shoes. Each night before your child goes to camp, place a plastic water bottle in the freezer and a second one in the refrigerator. The next morning send both bottles to camp. The refrigerated one can be used in the

morning and the frozen one will melt and provide cool refreshment in the afternoon heat. Spray bottles are a great idea too. They keep the face and body cool in the hot sun. Before leaving for camp, apply sunscreen to your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin and send along the tube for later reapplication. Avoid sending tanning lotions with little or no SPF, or sunscreen that contains glitter as it can reflect light and cause sunburn. You

may even want to send along a hat for extra protection. If your child is going to be in a natural environment, he should wear insect repellent. Look for a lotion form that is safe for children; avoid sprays. Follow up with a tick check when your child comes home. Make sure he gets plenty of rest each night before camp and is up early the next morning so he isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t rushed getting out the door. Keep

the line of communication open and talk about camp before it even starts. Reassure him of the positive experience he will have. At the end of each camp day, find a block of uninterrupted time where you can listen as your child shares his adventures. Ask what he liked about camp and if there were any things he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like. If he is having a hard time articulating what happened, break it down by activitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;â&#x20AC;&#x153;What

crafts did you do?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you play any outdoor games that involved balls or running?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who did you play with at the pool?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Who did you sit with at lunch?â&#x20AC;? Above all, encourage your child to always do his best, obey the rules, be respectful of others and have a great time. -Denise Yearian is the former editor of two parenting magazines and the mother of three children.

Finding the

right forcamp your

BY DENISE YEARIAN

child

AST SUMMER my kids did something they had never done before: Went to camp...sleep-away camp. You know, the kind with cabins, canteens, and lots of bugs and dirt. I must admit, I was a bit apprehensive about shipping all three of them off at once. I mean, what if they got homesick? What if I got “kid sick?” Nonetheless, they were begging—no, pleading—to go, so we packed their

bags and off they went—for seven whole days. Did they get homesick? No! In fact, they were having so much fun they didn’t want to come home!

“Summer camp, especially sleepaway camp, is often a wonderful, growth-filled, learning experience,” said Doron Krakow, national director of Young Judaea Camp. Parents, however, often underestimate the benefits of camp and of what it will do for their child. “Some parents may think their money is better spent elsewhere than on camp fees, particularly if they themselves were not at camp as a youngster,” says Krakow. But a camp experience will provide your child with invaluable life lessons, such as how to be responsible, solve problems, and get along with others. So how do you go about finding the right camp? First, talk it over with your child. What are his interests? Does he like softball? Soccer?

Music? The performing arts? Finding a camp with activities your child will enjoy is important. At the same time, encourage him to try new things. “Just because (your child) is a soccer junkie doesn’t mean he might not like—or be good at—arts and crafts,” says Krakow. “Camp is a great place to try something different, because everyone is having new experiences.” Once your child has decided upon the type of camp he wants, explore the options. Find out about the various programs each one offers and ask plenty of questions. According to Krakow, most parents find out whether there’s quality instruction and enough time for their child to participate in the said activity, and stop there. But, he says, parents

should take a look at the big picture. “Probe to learn about other segments of the program. What concepts or philosophy does the camp espouse? What type of child does it attract? What will my child do through the course of a typical day?” If the camp has a brochure, read it carefully. This way you can match your agenda with that of the camp’s and provide the experience you want for your child. Not sure if your child is developmentally ready for camp? Have a trial run. Send him to visit a relative for the weekend. How did he do away from home? Did he sleep well? Was he able to care for himself (brush his teeth, taking a bath, change his clothes)? Did he adjust to

Even if your child did well on a trial run, spend a few minutes talking with the camp director. Tell him about your child—how he interacts with other children, his level of participation in school, etc. Above all, don’t let your own apprehensions keep you from sending your child to camp. “If you keep him home because of your anxiety about separation, you’re short-changing him,” says, Krakow. “If your youngster is asking to go away to camp, chances are he is ready.” On the first day of camp, help your child get settled, then leave. “Don’t stick around too long,” says Krakow. “If you drive your child to camp, he may cling to you on the way up. Remember, this is something new, and it’s natural, even for a veteran camper to be a little hesitant.” Once there, however, many kids will shift from clingy to embarrassed in front of their friends, and parents are often slow to pick up on this.

he’ll have something to open when the mail arrives on the first day. It doesn’t have to be anything fancy— a note saying you’re thinking of him and hoping he’s having a good time will do. If you do not have time to write every day, that is okay. Just try to write as often as you can. When my kids went to camp, I sent them notes every other day, and included jokes and riddles. And their father, who is a great cartoonist, drew pictures with captions for them, too. Although I was faithful at letter writing, my kids weren’t. All week long I waited for something—anything—but received nothing. “If your child is a poor correspondent, don’t take it personally,” says Krakow. “Camp is a full-time job for kids. Some may be inclined to share it all with their parents, others will get so caught up in the moment that promises to write are forgotten.” A good rule of thumb is, “No news is good news.” In other words, if you don’t hear from your child, it probably means he’s having a great time and enjoying his newfound freedom.

Even before you send your child to camp, mail him a letter. This way

Whether your child goes to camp for one week or the whole summer,

new or different foods? These and other questions will help you decide if your child is ready for camp.

send a care package. Chances are, the other kids will get one and you don’t want your child to feel left out. The package doesn’t have to be extravagant, just something to let him know you’re thinking of him. Items could include: a yo-yo, his favorite magazine, a pack of gum, candy or some other goodie. Just be sure that if you’re sending food items, you know what the rules are about food in cabins. Camps often don’t allow food in the cabins because they can attract bugs, raccoons and other outdoor creatures. When preparing to send your child to camp, avoid purchasing new clothes unless he really needs them. Chances are, they’ll get soiled, stained, or mildewed before they get home—if they even get home! Economically speaking, you’re better off rounding up old clothes and shoes (towels and wash clothes, too) and saving the new items for after camp. Several weeks before your child attends camp, keep his schedule open and stress-free. This will allow him plenty of time to relax and prepare for the big event. If, for example, your family comes back from

a vacation on Friday and you scoot your child off to camp on Sunday, he may experience some anxiety and tension. A better idea is to plan major summer events with a break in between. On the last day of camp, arrive on time, and come prepared with a few extra plastic bags. You may need them, especially if your child has wet clothes or muddy shoes that need to be transported. On the ride home, listen to your child. More than likely he’ll be eager to share his experiences with you— who he met, what he did, and the funny things that happened. And if you look real close you may find he’s grown a little. Not just in height, but in depth of character. Camp has a way of helping kids grow—by boosting their self-esteem, increasing their sense of responsibility and helping them mature in their relationships with others. Who knows? Your child may even greet you with the same words mine did, “Hey, Mom! Camp was so much fun. Can I go again next year?” -Denise Yearian is the former editor of two parenting magazines and the mother of three children.

packed and ready to go BY JENNIFER C. O’DONNELL

F YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER will be heading off to camp for the first time, you may encounter issues about what to pack. Your child may have ideas of his own (Gameboy, cell phone, iPad, etc.). You thoughts about what he’ll need may include stationary for letters home, plenty of clean clothes and his favorite teddy bear from when he was 3.

Fortunately, most camps help out by providing a very detailed list of what to bring and what to leave home.

Below is what many camps offer up as “must have” necessities for resident camp. This list is based on a one-week stay.

clothing 1 T-shirt for every day at camp, plus 2 extra 1 pair of socks for every day at camp, plus 2 extra

1 gigantic Zip-Lock bag or a plastic trash bag for dirty or wet clothing

other items 2 water bottles

1 pair of shorts for every day at camp, plus 1 extra

1 bottle of sunscreen, with at least a 15 SPF

1 pair of jeans, khakis or sweatpants

1 bottle of bugspray

2 swimsuits, 1 coverup (for girls)

sleeping bag or sheets depending on the facilities

1 windbreaker (with hood)

1 pillow

1 to two pairs of PJs (or separate t-shirts for sleeping)

toiletries (a school box makes a great toiletry kit)

1 hat

don’t forget lip balm for sunburned or windburned lips, toothpaste, soap, shampoo

1 pair of flip-flops for the pool and shower 1 pair of water shoes

comb, brush, hair clips or pony tail holders for girls

1 pair of sneakers, plus an extra pair, just in case

2 towels

1 small flashlight 1 good book stationary and stamps 1 small notepad for doodling (and a pen) a few extra garbage bags for who-knows-what a deck of cards or a very small board game

Note: Some camps may provide you with excellent packing tip suggestions. For example, a few area scout groups have found that everything a camper needs usually fits well into an 18 gallon plastic tote. The tote is easy to cart around and if you purchase a see-through tote, it makes locating items easy for first-time campers.
