It was a tough weekend for me—more difficult then I thought. It was my first time letting my daughter stay overnight and in a new place. My daughter was bursting with excitement to share with us what she did at camp and the friends she met along the way.
There were tears. Not from my daughter, but from me. The entire time I was nervous and filled with anxiety…still not 100% sure if my daughter is ready to go to camp on her own. The bus windows were tinted and I could see a group of counsellors huddled around the area where my daughter was sitting. Then we saw a little head peak at the window with a smiling face waving at us!
My 4 year old is going to overnight camp for the first time. Two nights, three days on an island in Algonquin Park! Dave Graham from Camp Kandalore says that camp prepares kids to be resilient—teaches them to bounce back when things don’t go their way. What an incredible life skill to have. Sometimes, I wish I could go back to camp to grow another fresh layer of my own resilient skin…I want to make sure that I give my kids a head start!
