One of our Y Camp Moms, Kathlyn (whose three daughters have attended Y Camp for several years), recently shared with us some tips for making the camp experience even better for your kids.Here's one of Kathlyn's tips:
"Pick a theme and then go to the dollar store and the party store. Get decorations for the theme, box them up and mail them to your camper for her whole cabin to enjoy. This will instantly make your child feel like part of the group and it gives the whole cabin something they can all share in.
"For example, one year I sent Hawaiian stuff — plastic leis for each girl in the cabin, a fake flower for their hair, paper cut-out decorations for the walls, a sign for the door. It is amazing what you can find at the dollar store!
"Another added benefit — all the kids think you are a really cool parent, and your kid will, if for just a moment, realize that you are pretty great."
