Camper Pictures 2008
We hope that you enjoy these pictures that we randomly take at camp during the session. Our desire is to update every couple of days, but unfortunately we get busy with camp operations and do not always get the opportunity. Our primary goal is to provide a wonderful camping experience for your daughter, and that will always come first.

Tried and True Tips for Parents:
This summer, millions of children will get their first taste of independence at a summer resident camp. For many, it will also be their first experience with homesickness. Parents do not have to feel helpless when homesickness strikes. The prescription for camper homesickness is a simple solution of preparation and patience. Parents should also keep in mind that one or two dramatic letters or calls indicating homesickness may be an exaggeration and a natural part of the adjustment. Being patient is often the solution. The child who hated camp the first week, may be the same child who begs to go back next summer.
Here are some tips for parents who might have to deal with homesickness:
· Encourage your child’s independence throughout the year. Practice separations, such as sleepovers at a friend’s house, can stimulate the camp environment.
· Discuss what camp will be like before your child leaves. Consider role-playing anticipated situations, such as using the flashlight to find the bathroom.
· Send a note or care package ahead of time to arrive the first day of camp. Acknowledge, in a positive way, that you will miss your child. For example, you can say “I am going to miss you, but I know that you will have a good time at camp.”
· Pack personal items from home, such as a stuffed animal or pictures.
· Review how you will keep in touch, whether through letter writing, one-way emails, “shared prayer”, etc. (Send camper emails to campers@camparrowhead.com and put your daughter’s name in the ‘subject line’.)
· Write frequently and encourage friends and relatives to write also. There is nothing better than to receive a letter or package during camp.
· Avoid ambivalent messages, such as, “Have a great time at camp; I hope I survive without you."
· Don’t make “pick-up deals”, such as; “If you feel homesick or don’t like camp, I’ll come pick you up.”
· When a “rescue call” comes from the child, offer calm reassurance and put the time frame into perspective. Avoid the temptation to take the child home early.
· Don’t feel guilty about encouraging your child to stay at camp. For many children, camp is a first step towards independence and plays an important role in their growth and development.
· Trust your instincts. Most incidents of homesickness will pass in a day or two. If your child is not eating or sleeping because of anxiety or depression, it is time to go home. However, don’t make your child feel like a failure if their stay at camp is cut short. Focus on the positive and encourage your child to try camp again next year.
