| What should my child take to camp?
|
| |
First Timers:
- Every camper needs a few days to adjust to camp life. Up beat letters from home can help.
Non-food packages and letters may be sent to:
Camp Pendola
Your Camper’s Name
P.O. Box 188
Camptonville, CA 95922
For Fed Ex or UPS delivery: Delivery only occurs one day per week
Camp Pendola
Your Camper's Name
17888 Mill Road
Camptonvile, CA 95922
- Some things that will ensure your child’s success at camp include:
- Helping your child prepare for camp by having them pack. Get the supplies together that they will need and begin packing a week or more ahead of time (Water bottle, items they won’t need prior to camp).
- Practice with them what they are going to wear each day and have them practice laying out their clothes each day for a week prior to camp.
- Teach your child how to straighten out their sleeping bag as it lays on the cot and how to use any other equipment they bring (flashlight, camera, etc.)
- Teach your child how to keep their clothes neat in the suitcase under their bunk.
- Take a look at the Daily Schedule together. Please remember this is a sample. Each week and cabin has its own unique schedule based on a variety of options.
- Problem solve with your children how to deal with problems he/she might encounter at camp. What if you loose your flashlight? What if you don’t like another cabin mate? What if you don’t feel well? Practice with your child through role playing some of these scenarios.
