How to make camp even

1. Shared logistics, smooth planning

When it comes to balancing your family’s summer activities with your personal schedule, it truly takes a village. 

Carpooling is a huge benefit of kids coming to camp with a friend because it can lighten your load and give your child a buddy to share headphones with on the way to camp. 

Plus, you can coordinate packing, preparation, and any camp-related communications for an extra smooth week.

2. More home, less homesickness

When kids have a little bit of home with them, they’re less likely to experience feeling out of place. 

Bringing a friend to camp will provide a sense of continuity and mitigate feelings of homesickness. 

Plus, when kids feel comfortable at camp, you’ll get fewer midday calls about homesickness!

4. Good vibes, positive reinforcement

With a friend by your child's side, they will be empowered to make braver decisions and more likely to fully embrace the camp experience by trying new activities. 

Having a friend there for positive reinforcement will promote social skill development, personal growth, and allow them to discover new passions!

5. Shared experiences, stronger friendships

When your child attends camp with friends, they’ll come away with so many inside jokes and core memories they can look back on together and say, “Remember at camp when…” It’ll strengthen their friendship bond to last a lifetime. 

And while we can’t guarantee you’ll understand their inside jokes, you’ll still get to hear all those fun stories!
