1)make sure your child will eat the food you send with them – I have had kids come to me saying “I dont have any food and im hungry”

2)send your kids with snacks at snack time they feel very bad when they see all the other kids with their snacks and they dont have

3) tell us if ur child has any allergies preferably write it down on a piece of paper for us if there are multiple things – i had a camper last year who was allergic to what seemed like everything and i felt bad when i would forget and ask if she wanted ‘blank’

4)if your child was only toilet trained in the past few monthes please send a change of clothes (we had to use a kids shirt last year when he had an accident because there was no other option)

5)Get ur children excited for day camp lots of times all they want is to do other things and dont want to participate in activities- this is super hard for us to deal with kids who don’t want to do anything
