[quote=Anonymous]No, whether sleep away camp or day camp, I think it’s a better experience if they go in not knowing anyone. Knowing a friend already can be problematic: it can make your kid want to only hang around them and not meet anyone or it can create expectations that since they are already friends, they need to socialize at camp. But the friend may meet someone at camp on the bus there and or whatever, and now your kid feels left out or a third wheel. That happens A LOT at camp when go already having friends. Friendships are different at camp than they are at school,neighborhood etc.[/quote]
