Prep in Your Step
This month we hosted a webinar with our partner PM Pediatrics to help get you and your kids ready for camp.  In addition to finding your children the best fit sleepaway camp, we also prepare families for this new part in their parenting journey by connecting them with some of the best resources and experts in the field. 
 
Topics we discussed:
- Preparing your child mentally and physically for camp
- What to do if your child looks unhappy in a picture
- What to do if you get a sad letter
- When you should (and should not) call camp
- Drop Off and Visiting Day tips

Summer (365) Required Reading
After spending many summers at an all girls overnight camp in Pennsylvania, a veteran sleepaway camper (and S365 Intern!) turned counselor writes a letter to her younger self sharing genuine lessons and advice with all first time and future campers.
 
For people who never have gone to camp it is hard to understand the obsession that is camp. This post shows the magic that is going to camp and how to master the tricks.
 
By now you're done with the obsessive collecting, labeling, and packing of allllll your child's "things". Did you remember it all?  Is it all right? Spoiler alert - it doesn't really matter - they're going to be (more than!) fine.
 
There's more to it than wearing dark sunnies to the bus stop! Hear it straight from a camp director.
 
There is nothing like the gift of camp. By giving the gift of camp your children will gain independence, resilience, and confidence. And with those gifts, at camp, kids have the opportunity to become the best, happiest, truest version of themselves.
