What to do if my child is gets homesick
If you suspect they might get homesick, here are a few tips to empower
- Encourage your child to spend time with their friends and talk to a trusted adult/teacher if they are feeling homesick.
- Have a few sleepovers with friends or family to grow in confidence about being away from home
- Bring items that they enjoy and remind them of home, like their favourite teddy, book, or maybe some photos.
- Talk positively and expectantly about the camp. “I will miss you because I love and care for you. I know that you will have a great time, and I look forward to hearing about all of your adventures, and that makes me feel better.”
- Research and learn about the camp, the activities, accommodation, etc. Show your child our website!
- Talk to older siblings or friends in older grades that may have been to the camp before.
If you or your child are still feeling anxious about coming to camp, consider talking with other parents and teachers from your child's school, or call our friendly staff to have a chat.
