Whether you’re wondering if your child is ready for summer camp, want to learn more about camp scholarships or are in need of completing medical forms, we are here to help!
Every child looks forward to summer vacation when school schedules and homework give way to more time playing outside and having fun. And parents want to ensure their child has a safe and enriching place to be. If you’re considering summer camp, you’ll want to consider your child’s readiness, as well.
What activities does he or she like to spend the most time doing? How much time do you think they can handle being away from home? Some children enjoy being at camp for a full day, every day, while others may [still] need a fair amount of time with their own friends or family.
How well does your child adjust to new situations, or transition from home to school each day? Some kids take to camp right away, and parents are lucky to get a wave goodbye. Other campers have longer periods of adjustment. Again, you know your child best.
If you are considering summer camp for the first time, here are some specific questions you may want to answer:

With the completion of an elaborate new habitat built by Green Chimneys’ woodshop students, the Farm Science classroom was able to welcome Brownie into her new home. Brownie previously lived alone in her cage in the farm and wildlife office, but guinea pigs do best in larger environments. The new habitat allows her to live in a herd as she would in the wild, with many places to hide and ways to practice her skills. Brownie has always been a social creature, and she has taken over the guinea pig herd but is a very peaceful leader.
