[quote=Anonymous]OP here-  I didn’t go get her last nite and yes, I’m completely frustrated that a counselor (she told me the camp director) gave her a phone to call. That was unacceptable. I have only my hysterical daughters pleas and nothing from leadership.
  I’m going to call the phone number she called from and ask for an adult to call me.
I think my daughter is just not a kid who enjoys overnight camps. I’m starting to think it’s just personality. The camp is well known and many many friend go- I’m not concerned with abuse or anything like that because she’s been homesick before (hence why he took a break from overnight camps).  Why she gets so homesick, I don’t get. Both of us work and travel so I feel like we don’t hover or over protect. But again, maybe just a personality thing.
  SO much great advice from posters but I have decided to try and get her to last until tomorrow.  I will try to pick her up extra early before the chaos so as to not embarrass her since I have a feeling she has been miserable all week.
  Great advice to sit down over ice cream and discuss after the fact. [/quote]
