how to prepare
your child
for summer
camp
S
ending your child to camp for the first time can be somewhat nerve racking and stressful. Most children are excited to partake in a summer camp but some can be nervous or scared. It is important to prepare your child for camp in order for them
to have the best experience possible. My first over night camp experience was when I was eight years old. I attended Camp
Hurlbert in Vernon and after my initial trepidation wore off it was one of the most memorable and enjoyable times of my
young life.
As an adult I have had the opportunity to coordinate summer camps for both the Boys and Girls Clubs and the YMCA.
The benefits of these kinds of camps are often life changing. They foster independence in children and help them to
build social skills that they will take with them into adulthood. Children build confidence and self worth, they try new
things and meet new friends. They unplug from technology, become more physically active and develop a connection
to nature and their surroundings.
Following a few simple steps and techniques will help both you and your child to have a wonderful summer
camp experience.

Be positive. Talk with your child about all of the benefits of camp.
Include your child in the decision making process. Which camp should they attend? What activities are they
interested in?
Explore camp together. Visit the campground or review the website. Many summer camps have family days in
the spring to give families an opportunity to visit and become more familiar with the camp.
Discuss the daily routine at camp. What is to be expected of your child, the camper? What is the routine like?
What activities will they be involved in?
Review the camp checklist together. Often camps will provide a checklist of recommended supplies to pack
and bring. They might also offer a list of what not to bring. Be sure to go over these guidelines with your child.
Practice time apart. If your child is attending an overnight camp for the first time have them spend a night or
two at a friends house a few months in advance.
Teach independence at home. Have your child follow their morning and bedtime routine on their own. Have
them set the table, prepare a meal and wash dishes.
Speak openly about feeling homesick. Reassure your child that this is a normal, natural feeling and determine
what steps that they should take when they feel this way.
Try to have a friend or acquaintance attend the same camp. As a first time camper, I know that I felt a lot
better knowing that a friend was also there.
Ask your child if they have any questions or concerns. Just talking it through with them may elevate any fear
or anxiety that they may have.

Outdoor Summer Fun
W
aking up every morning to watch the
sunrise gives me immeasurable joy and
peace before the noise and faster pace of
the day unfolds.
Today’s life is hectic for both adults and children,
however SUMMER time provides an opportunity to
slow down, head outdoors and wonder at the beauty
of nature.
Getting outdoors and closer to nature has all sorts of
benefits for our children. It keeps them healthy, they
can learn about the amazing natural world around
them and most of all its fun to play outdoors… Children
learn through play.
“When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.” ~John Muir, Naturalist
Children are curious by nature. To them, everything is a wonder. Simple fun like building fairy houses, making mud pies,
chasing grasshoppers, investigating pond life, picking wild berries, hunting for rocks, watching bees and butterflies,
finding pine cones, making magic petal potions, building dens, climbing trees, lying back and watching clouds go by
are all part of childhood.
Here in the Okanagan the diversity of wildlife is incredible and viewing wild animals in their natural habitat is a magical
and enchanting experience for a child of any age. As a family, we have encountered bears, deer, moose, big horn sheep,
bald eagles, osprey and rattlesnakes, to name a few. There are many wonderful trails and hikes to suit all ages throughout
the Okanagan and the Regional parks offer activities for young children and youth throughout the summer break. Geocashing was a favourite with our 14yr old.
Of course, you don’t have to go in search of a moose; young children can have just as much fun going on a bug hunt in
their own backyard, running barefoot on a sandy beach, sharing their favourite book under the shade of a giant tree.
Playing in the local park where they have the freedom to run wild and chase butterflies and listen to the birds and
squirrels go about their business. Why not wake up early together and let sunbeams warm your heart or stay up extra
late and watch the night sky sparkle with promise.
Gardening is another wonderful fun way to connect children with nature. Simply by playing and working in a garden,
children can experience the satisfaction that comes from caring for something over time, while observing the cycle of
life firsthand.
Happy Healthy Children Play Outdoors
Getting children back into nature is a key part of the solution to keeping children healthy and truly creating wellness.
There has never been a more important time for parents and grandparents to make outdoor play a priority for the
children in their lives. It is one of the best things that we can do for their health, education and well-being and here in
the Okanagan, we couldn’t ask for a more magical and awe-inspiring place to connect out children with the natural
world.
Wishing you all a magical and enchanting summer full of wonder and awe and oodles of laughter!

Bring the camp experience home
C
amping can be an exciting adventure. The fresh air, warm
sunshine and waking to the sounds of nature can be a soul
strengthening experience. If you are the one responsible
for the planning, however, it can become stressful trying
to remember everything: shopping for ‘camp food’, booking the
campsite and ensuring the camping supplies are clean, ready and
packed. If the thought of planning for such an excursion makes you
want to give up before you start, here are some ideas for a ‘camp at
home’ experience your family will surely enjoy! Unplug and connect
with your family, fill your soul, enjoy nature, without the stress of
planning a traditional camping experience!
Set aside a weekend with your family: two full days without
electronics or scheduled activities. Grab some blankets from
the closet and create forts in your living room. Bring out the
family games and have a weekend long tournament. Teach
your children how to play cards! When is the last time you
played Crazy 8’s, Go Fish or Hearts? Or maybe grab a flashlight and sit in the dark, taking turns telling scary stories.
If you are fortunate to have a backyard, this can be a great place to camp and connect with nature, without the planning.
If you don’t own a tent, see if there’s someone who can lend you one. If you don’t own sleeping bags, use your extra
blankets and pillows to create a cozy sleeping space for you and your family. Bring some flashlights along and go on a
scavenger hunt in the dark! You’ll be creating wonderful memories for your children! If you want to make a campfire but
are not permitted an open flame, gather together several battery operated candles and place them in a circle on the
lawn. You can now sing campfire songs without having an actual fire!
If you have a relatively sheltered patio attached to
your home, create a sleeping area for your family. Again,
bring extra blankets and pillows outside to create a soft,
cozy sleeping area. Have you ever star-gazed with your
children? Lay out on the grass on a warm summer evening,
contemplate the vastness of the universe or perhaps try
to name the planets and constellations that are visible
with the naked eye. If you happen to own a telescope,
even better! Providing quiet, uninterrupted time for your
children to open up, ask questions and share their secrets
can be an eye-opening experience for a parent. Be sure,
however, to listen without judgement and criticism to
what they have to say.
In whatever way you choose to camp, be sure and keep
it as low-stress as you can. Have different members of
your family be responsible for different things. Maybe
your four-year-old can gather the pillows; your sevenyear-old can gather the blankets and your spouse can
be responsible for the tent/fort/patio preparation, or the
food/snack shopping (don’t forget the marshmallows
and hotdogs!)
Happy camping!
