Returning home from camp brings excitement to the whole family. It is important for parents and campers to understand that going back home is a time to return to the "Real World" with more responsibilities, homework and parents with high expectations.
Here are a few ideas to help campers move back into society
2-Give your kids downtime to reconnect with friends – Don't over program and help set up face to face times with friends
3-Encourage sleep – Camp is regimented with regular bedtimes, except for the last few days. Try to start a regular bed time routine.
4- When you see a new habit give it a thumbs up. Positively reinforce behaviors – especially the new ones you like. It is easy to fall back into the old not so good habits.
5- Debrief. As parents of a camper, we often don't often hear camp stories till mid November. So don't worry if they are not so forthcoming, just keep asking and they will come
6- When you learn something about SNC that is Amazing or Troubling, contact us via email or phone. We want to know.
Enjoy your children it wont be long till you send them back to us.
