Arrowwood Director Seth Houser shares 5 tips for first-time campers and answers your questions.

Tips

1. Have Confidence - If you are worried, they will be worried. If you are confident, they are likely to be confident! We have a vigorous staff hiring and training process, we have a Doctor on campus, we are professionals. Please reach out if you have any questions.

2. Practice Camp with your child - Practice writing postcards, making a bed, bathing, applying sunscreen, spend the night with a friend or grandparent. -- Don't overwhelm, but do practice.

3. The more you know ahead of time… the better. Check out the daily schedule, track descriptions, Instagram counselor introductions, and the parent information packet.

4. Homelonely vs Homesick - “Your counselors are your fill in parents” - Do encourage them to have a wonderful time at camp. Don't make pick-up deals.
   

5. Label Everything - Your camper will lose something - it's ok, we have a better chance of returning their items to them if everything has a label.
