It's natural for parents to be concerned about their child's experience at camp, particularly if it's their first time. Camp Directors recognize that sending your child to a remote location can be intimidating and may leave you feeling unsure about their happiness.
Although summer camp aims to foster independence and self-confidence in your child without parental presence, every camp has methods in place to reassure you that your child is thriving.
Here are some ways camps keep parents informed:
✍️Hand Written Letters: These are written by your child. Counsellors will work with your child to create a special message for you, sharing how wonderful their camp experience has been so far.
📧 Email Updates: Camp staff will provide updates on your child’s progress at camp. These updates may come as a personal, one-on-one email to you or as a general message to all campers parents.
📸 Photos of Campers: These pictures enjoying their time at camp may be shared through email, on social media, and through other channels.
☎️ Phone Calls: Some camps might call you from their office phone to provide an update on your child's well-being. Younger campers typically get an opportunity to call home too. This can be a lovely way to connect.
👋 Visitor Days: On these very special days, parents get the opportunity to visit their child at camp during the summer! Visitor days are usually available for parents whose children are enrolled in longer camp sessions.
