Camp Ready: Preparing Your Child (and Yourself) for the Emotional Journey of Camp
As families prepare for summer camp, it's essential to recognize that camp is more than activities and fun—it's a transformative developmental experience that stretches new emotional muscles. Join No Shame On U and Consulting Camp LLC for an essential conversation about the emotional landscape of overnight camp and how to support your child's mental health.
In this session, we'll explore:
Common mental health experiences at camp (homesickness, anxiety, social challenges) and why they're a normal part of growth
How to evaluate camp fit through a mental health lens—asking the right questions about emotional support systems, staff training, and communication protocols
Practical strategies to prepare your child emotionally, including what to discuss before they go and how to build resilience tools
Healthy communication boundaries that support independence while staying connected
How to manage your own emotions as a parent during separation
Whether you're a first-time camp family or a seasoned camp parent, you'll leave with actionable tools to partner with your child's camp community and support both your child's growth and your own well-being throughout the camp experience.
