- 5. WELCOME DAY Procedures We know that all of our families are eager for camp to begin, so we try and make the opening day as smooth and efficient as possible! Most of our camps use stations for registration. •Camp Director: meet with our camp director, who will welcome you and give you instructions for the rest of registration •Medical station: meet with the medical staff assigned to your child’s pod/hut – Don’t forget your up to date medical forms! – Chance for you to have any questions answered •Dietary station: meet with the dietary staff assigned to your child’s pod/hut •Counselor station: meet the counselors of your child’s pod/hut – Don’t be shy! Feel free to ask them any questions you may have •Programming: you’ll be given the chance to meet a member of our programming team •Take a mini tour: Feel free to take a few moments to look at the site and get an idea of the amazing week ahead for your child

- 7. Preparing for PROGRAM THEMES Among other things, D-Camps provide a fun environment for learning and trying new things! One way that we can accomplish this and make camp more magical, is by incorporating “theme meals.”
- 8. Preparing for PROGRAM THEMES • Theme meals happen 1-2 times a day at one of the meals (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) • They’re camp wide! Everyone, including staff, is involved • The campers are told what the theme will be at the meal prior • The themes can be action oriented: – Examples: silent supper, singing supper, crazy utensil lunch, bear paw breakfast • OR, the themes can be costume oriented: – Examples: retro breakfast, twin lunch, hero supper
- 9. Dealing with HOMESICKNESS Preventing Homesickness at home, before it starts: •Work together as a family to plan and pack •Orient your child with camping brochures and pictures from previous summers •Spend practice time away from home, such as a long weekend at a friend’s house •Discuss what camp will be like before your child leaves •Give your child pre-addressed, stamped envelopes/postcards so that they can keep you informed of camp activities •Send a note/care package ahead of time to arrive in time for camp •Pack a personal item from home
- 10. Dealing with HOMESICKNESS Interventions at camp for homesick campers: •Staying busy! •Talking with a counselor •Remembering that you’re not at camp for your whole life, the week will be over before you know it! •Writing letters home •Reminding the camper of all the fun activities that camp offers and doing them!
