With a range of exciting summer camps on the table for your little one, lets look at how best to prepare them and to allay any worries they may have.
PREPARING SHY KIDS for SUMMER CAMP

Summer camps can be the highlight of the year for many kids. These memorable trips are spent playing games, trying out new sports, making friends and much more. However, that's not every child's idea of a dream summer. For some little ones, the thought of spending time away from their family (even if they return home each evening) can be too much. Facing countless other children that they don't know can be a daunting prospect.

While it's natural for kids to be nervous in the lead up to a summer camp, others may feel overwhelmed with anxiety.

TIPS TO PREPARE YOUR CHILD FOR CAMP

Summer camps can be an extremely important and formative experience for children. It's a place for them to practise lots of great skills, including socialising a becoming comfortable with independence.

Many activities that take place at a summer camp enable children to express themselves among their peers and are often a chance to try their hand at a sport or a hobby that they may not have had the opportunity to sample before. It's a fantastic setting for your child to learn and to grow, particularly if they have a more anxious disposition. So, here are a few pointers to help kids prepare for summer camp and to get the most out of it!

Involve your child 

One of the scariest aspects of summer camps, for a child, is the sense of unknown. To counteract this, try to include them in as much of the planning process as possible.

Not only will this help to calm their anxiety because they'll be more aware of where they're going, it will also make sure that kids go to a summer camp they're actually interested in. If your little one is involved in the selection process, summer camp is much more likely to be a positive experience.
