In our experience in the camping industry it is completely normal for campers to get nervous prior to attending camp or may have home sickness while at camp, especially if it is their first year away from home. We would be happy to discuss any questions that your child may have prior to attending to elevate nerves. First time campers are here to gain new experiences possibly outside of their comfort zone and to meet and build new friendships. We would like to ensure that your child knows that their first friend at camp will be their counselor, the counselor will then assist in building new friendships with other campers. Also campers will be able to call home at anytime upon request.
