A.  The best way to cope with homesickness is to actively prepare kampers prior to the week of Kamp.   Parents will be provided with tips for talking to their child about the Kamp experience.  One of the best ways to manage homesickness is for parents and staff to reassure kampers that they will have an exciting week and will be unity to support them.  Parents may call the Kamp office regularly to talk with Kamp staff and find out how their child is doing.  In the event that a child truly needs to go home due to homesickness, parents can arrange to pick them up anytime.  However, it;s more common for parents to miss their kampers! 8.  Q.  Where is Kay’s Kamp and what are the facilities like?
