As parents, one of the hardest things for us to do is let our children go off into the world outside of our supervision.

This could include going to the nearby downtown area, taking public transportation to the beach, or heading into a city.

For parents who cannot bear the thought of letting their children from their site, the idea of sending them to a sleep away camp for weeks at a time can be frightening.

However, it shouldn't be.
![Page 6: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Kids who have gone to sleep away camps have been shown to adapt to new situations more easily …
![Page 7: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
… like when they later go to college, and are more comfortable in unfamiliar situations, such as job interviews.

Having said this, it's important to know what it is that kids do at camp.

A Mix of Planned and Free Activities
![Page 10: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
When kids go to camp, it can be equated to a pre-collegiate experience, at least in the social sense.
![Page 11: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
They will embark on a combination of planned activities while also being given some free time to choose what they'd like to do.
![Page 12: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Having these choices a young person can gain confidence in making simple decisions.

Meet Kids Their Own Age
![Page 14: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There is a special bond that is made during the summer camp experience …
![Page 15: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
… where young people create friendships with those they never would have met otherwise.
![Page 16: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This happens because the experience is unique to any other, and the memories cannot usually be made anywhere else.
![Page 17: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
In spite of the fact that the duration of a camp may only last a few weeks, many kids stay in touch, hoping to see each other the following year, or meeting up sooner.
![Page 18: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In some cases, the parents also become good friends, finding that the friendly summer camp they sent their children to enriched everyone.
![Page 19: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
This is especially true for the children as they get to experience new things.

Experience New Things
![Page 21: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Whether a child grows up in the city, suburbs, or the country, there are so MANY new experiences that they can find at camp, including the people.
![Page 22: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Some are not always as parents would like, such as one camper who returned home quoting Chuck Norris "facts" for weeks …
![Page 23: Sing Songs and Eat S'mores Around a Friendly Campfire](https://reader037.fdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102700/554c262fb4c905191f8b47b7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
… one of which was "When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, he'd already missed 3 calls from Chuck Norris."

It was funny the first time, but less so as the weeks went on.

On this, though, there are instances where children who were not readers have actually come home to surprise their parents with a NEW love for books.

It's a far cry from The Grapes of Wrath, but a step in the right direction.
