8. help is on the way. having an emergency contact
person
is vital. even more important is that the designated
person
knows you have written her name down. every year,
camp
s have situations where they call the emergency contact
person
and she was not informed she was designated as such. before listing a
person
?s name on the form, tell her first. 9. feed your brain. read the materials the
camp
gives you?policies, procedures and planned activities. if you know what to expect and what is expected of you, things will run much smoother. most
camp
s have a weekly schedule so parents know what the upcoming activities are. talk with your
child
about the activities planned. if she cannot participate because of health reasons, make sure you (not your
child
!) inform the
camp
. 10. getting to know you. find out if there is an open house where you can meet the staff and see the facility prior to

child

camp
directors and counselors to know you so they can keep you informed on how things are going for your
child
at

child
to enjoy the experience. mark the first day of
camp
on the family calendar and do a countdown. help your
child
develop a checklist of items needed. and don?t forget to share your own
camp
stories. remind your
child
to do his best, obey the rules, be respectful of others, and have a great time at
