[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Camp isn’t only about being entertained 24/7 by a predetermined and unwavering agenda. It’s about making friendships, navigating emotions and yes, dealing with disappointments. If it’s a good camp they will have many plan B options to pull from. [/quote]

It’s my daughter’s first sleep away camp.  I really hope she comes away from this with the attitude that rain happens, and things don’t go according to plan, but you can figure out how to make the most of it!

I am guessing rain at sleep away camp will be a lot more fun than rain at a day camp.  They probably have more options to pivot to something that works well with rain, vs a camp at a park, tennis court or other outdoor venue. [/quote]

Yes, sleepaway has more options for rain.  My kids camp has a huge covered basketball court with multiple nets.  They have a building where they do arts and crafts.  They have a huge building where kids eat with picnic like tables that likely can pivot and do classes in there with art, drawing, whatever.  Plus kids can do activities in their cabin with their counselors.

That is the whole point of sleepaway camp is to foster independence and flexibility in kids.   Things happen and mom/dad is not there and you need to figure things out and adapt.  I did not even have a thought to worry that my kid is not going to have a good time at sleepaway this week.  Rain or no rain, the kids will be fine, adjust, and still have a good time together.

Leave the worry behind and let go of the imaginary rope you always have.  It helps nothing and you waste precious unnecessary energy over it.  I promise your kid did not give one thought or worry about rain.
