Resident Camp
Preparing for Camp
We will be delighted to have your camper decide to join us this summer. Here are some tips to help make camp a positive experience:
-
Help your camper prepare for this big ADVENTURE by sharing in her excitement. She will make many new friends, live in a beautiful setting, and learn many new interesting things. Even though many girls wish it was......camp is NOT FOREVER!
-
If she has never been away from home, discuss this with her. Give her a chance to stay overnight at a friend' s house or at Grandma's. Be positive; listen to her fears and write her often at camp. Send a few items to make her sleeping area familiar - a small stuffed animal can work wonders! The American Camp Association has designed a free Web site specifically for parents and families, which includes some great articles and tips on getting your camper ready for camp and dealing with homesickness.

Your camper is your treasure - and we try to treat her as such! If she has any medical, dietary, or behavioral needs, please let us know. The more we know about her, the more comfortable we can make her feel.
Open House
We ask that parents do not visit while their camper is at camp. Visits often upset camp routine and trigger homesickness in campers. We would, however, like to invite you to our Annual Open House in June. Take a tour, meet the camp staff, and enjoy the beautiful setting.
