Parents often feel child-sick when youth leave for camp. Most youth development professionals warn against calling too much because it can make the kid homesick. Camp directors often suggest that families write children letters. Waiting a week before calling to check in can also relieve the parent and the child’s anxiety. Adults can even tell their children that they will wait a week before calling. Sending a care package is a great way for parents to show they care and to help youth with homesickness.
Some camps have visiting days where parents can come and see youth. It is important to reach the camp’s calendar and to talk to the Director for more information about parent’s days or visiting hours.
