Look at Mazzy trying her hardest to keep up her close-lipped smile, but she couldn’t do it! A sliver of tooth peeked out! Also, it’s seven days and counting until my baby girl goes away to sleep-away camp 😭😭😭 Can you believe it??? I am definitely way more nervous than she is. I think my biggest fear is that she will come back and not need me anymore. Or be resentful that her newfound freedom is gone. Tell me all the wonderful things that happened to your kids at sleep-away camp in the comments below! #thebigkidyears

mlhuhn I was a camp counselor two summers in a row (over 10 years ago!) and I can promise you that some amazing things happen at camp! I watched girls grow and mature while rediscovering the beauty of innocence all at the same time. There were girls that grew from quiet to confident, girls that were loud and grew contemplative, girls that were afraid to share and ended up having the most wonderful ideas and stories. Not only did they learn to appreciate themselves, but they learned to appreciate everyone around them. Summer camp is a wonderful place. I will never forget the magic of being a camper or counselor. It is brave for both if you to spend that time apart. I hope you find that it brings you closer together in the end!

michelelphotos Such a beautiful photo ☺️How bout this: On a parents note: every few years our children enter a new phase of life. With the skills they have learned at home, they are smart, aware, and will be just fine. So no worries there. Give the pep talk on safety, and the what to do’s so they know their go to’s when needed. This will help prepare for the next journey of life. It will also help with getting ready and comfortable with the changes and journeys in their future. As for she, she will always need you ?? As for me, I based it off of what my children ask for to know if they were ready and comfortable. Everything will be alright ??

madbenlove Omg when my oldest came home after her first year I def worried about the same thing—but I swear she came back better than ever!!!! I had a chance to miss her (which I did, like crazy)—and she had a chance to not only miss me (us) but also have some independence. I think that made her appreciate us a little more, and be just more pleasant all around. Super great experience—and I always joke that nothing makes you love your children more than when they’re at sleep away camp ? She’s off for her 4th summer next month, and her younger sister is off for her 2nd!

arinknorris My daughter went to a week long Girl Scout camp last summer. She was ten and had begged to go for years. She called home on the fourth night. I said, "OMG WHAT'S WRONG... WHY ARE YOU CALLING." She said nonchalantly, "Oh nothing. They have a time every night when you can call home if you want to..." So apparently the first three nights she had better things to do? When I picked her up the next night, she said, "I need an indoor bathroom and a cold glass of milk immediately."

staceysager7 More independence. A bit more for you, but most importantly, for her! Camp teaches them to problem solve on their own, apply values on their own, and find out things that they really enjoy doing in an UNPLUGGED setting . They interact more with humans! And regarding friendships...I always just tell my kids - find the NICE girls. ?Much harder on the parents just to let go for a while, though. Hardest part for sure is on us.

michelelphotos I went to sleep away camp while in grammar school. I was so excited to meet new friends, get care packages full of sweets and stationary from home, I even had camp counselors call my parents in the middle of the night lol so I could horse back ride and other activities the next day. I had the best time and loved going home to see my family after. Great experience ??
