The ability to request a cabin mate sometimes makes the difference between having the courage to come to camp and staying home. Campers who come without a cabin mate request tell us they get to know other campers faster and they make new friends with whom they stay in touch year after year. But for those who want a cabin mate, that's great too! We are very intentional about enforcing our Cabin Mate Request Policy  (included in registration waiver) to keep from impacting the camp experience for other campers. For example, if we allowed three cabin mates, we could easily wind up with a group of three buddies and a group of two buddies, leaving one "odd camper out" in a living group. Or if we don't have reciprocal requests, one family may have requested a camper while, unknowingly, the requested camper has submitted a different cabin mate request. This can cause hurt feelings upon arrival as well. For these reasons and many others, please make sure any requests follow these criteria :

Homesickness and Child-sickness  are two very different challenges camper families face from time to time. We're all familiar with homesickness, though it is a challenge that we see less often at camp these days. Help campers avoid it by focusing on the activities your camper is most excited about, sending a favorite stuffed animal, and expressing your confidence in your camper's ability to make it through the week. DO NOT tell your child to "just try it" and promise to come and get your camper if he/she doesn't like it. That is a virtual guarantee of homesickness. Remember your camper will feel all the confidence about camp that you "cue" him or her to have.

Child-sickness  is felt by parents at the prospect of being away from their camper for a week. You may be a parent who feels a great deal of fear for your camper's safety and your anxiety may manifest itself in ways that make the camp week difficult for both you and your child to enjoy.
