Getting ready
The first overnight starts with a conversation.
Readiness is individual. Talk through the actual routine and support available, then compare shorter and longer stays.
Your planning checklist
- Ask your child which parts sound exciting and which feel uncertain.
- Ask the camp how homesickness, medication and parent contact are handled.
- Check arrival, departure, supervision and accommodation details.
- Get a written packing list and cancellation policy before committing.
Make the next step a small one.
Write down your family's must-haves, then discuss them with your child. Keep the camp's answers alongside your shortlist so you can compare the details before registering.
