4 Sleepaway Camp Myths
Myth: “Children that get homesick often should only attend short sessions of sleepaway camp.”
Fact: We deal with homesickness all the time here at Camp Shohola, and we believe that longer sleepaway camp sessions work better to help children get over the feeling of homesickness. Children who go away to sleepaway camp for a longer session have more time to adapt, have fun, and feel a sense of accomplishment.
Myth: “My child’s friend loved said last year, so my child definitely will too.”
Fact: No two children are the same, therefore you can’t judge a camp off of someone else’s opinions. Look for a camp that has activities that your son(s) is interested in.
Myth: “Camps that are expensive are the best.”
Fact: The rates for sleepaway camps vary for every camp. Every sleepaway camp is different, and not every expensive camp is great. In fact, some of the best camp’s offer very reasonable prices like we do here at Camp Shohola.
Myth: “My child isn’t ready for sleepaway camp.”
Fact: To know for sure if your child is ready for sleepaway camp or not see how they do sleeping at a friends house.
