Homesickness
Missing home is a normal reaction. Camp is a marvelous place for a camper to learn that while they may miss their family, they can try new activities, make new friends, and have fun! Camp staff will talk gently with campers who miss home and help them learn to adjust to separation from family. If your camper is having a hard time, we will contact you to work out a plan. However, if you and your camper decide it’s best to come home, a refund cannot be issued. Remind campers that the camp week will go by very quickly, there will be lots of fun activities, and they can share all they did when they get home.
