Preparing for Summer Camp near Massachusetts
Summer 2015 is almost here which mean drop off day at Camp Kinder Ring is quickly approaching! We hope that our campers are getting more and more excited as they get ready for summer camp this year. But trust us, feelings of anxiety are completely common and can be eased. Follow these tips to reduce the stress and anxiety that comes along with preparing for summer camp near Massachusetts.
- Most of the time, packing for summer camp is the hardest part. We recommend that parents involve children in the packing process. See if the camp has any specific summer camp packing tips. Then, get your child to assist in packing. This will ensure that your child knows what is packed and reduces the risk of possessions getting lost.
- Tour the campgrounds. If you haven’t yet, tour the summer camp facilities to make your son or daughter more comfortable with their new environment. By walking around the summer camp, they will be introduced to their new surroundings and lose the fear of getting lost or not knowing where to go.
- Meet the staff. See if your son or daughter can meet with or speak with any of the summer camp staff. We take pride in our staff and only select the best counselors. These are the people who will teach, nurture, comfort, and guide our campers, and by meeting one of them, children will have a familiar face at camp when they arrive. Involve your child in decisions.
- At Camp Kinder Ring, campers will be given the opportunity to select summer camp activities that they would like to participate in each week. These activities range from athletics and adventures to performing arts and arts & crafts. By involving your child in the decision of what they will participate in, it will build excitement and give them something to look forward to once they get to camp.
Now, remember that summer camp is supposed to be a fun and exciting experience in a child’s life, not a stressful one! If you’re looking for the best summer camp near Massachusetts, contact Camp Kinder Ring at 845-221-2771 to schedule a tour or get more information today!
