Parent to Parent
Chenna’s mom, Cherie Cook, with advice for
parents of new campers
Sending your kid to camp. It can be one of the biggest milestones in their
young life, and an even bigger one for you.
“I know it is hard to let your precious child go somewhere away from you, but
when they come back, full of stories, smiles and just a bit more independent
than when they left, you will realize it is so worth it. “
Girl Scouts of Citrus has a long track record of conducting awesome summer
camp experiences for girls ages 5 - 18. Homesickness is part of the package.
But the number one cause of homesickness might surprise you: worrying
about home, not necessarily missing it. Girls worry about their parents,
siblings and pets!
“The counselors and staff at camp are safety conscious and exemplary; they
treat every child with respect, regardless of ability level.”
