We are aware of the great responsibility we have undertaken and we appreciate the trust you place in us by sending your child to Camp Skyline.

Sending Your Daughter to Camp

Most children adjust to camp very quickly. It is important that parents begin to prepare their daughters before the camp season actually begins. The following are some ideas and suggestions.

• Talk about camp a lot, especially about the new friends and fun activities that she will enjoy. Prepare her for going away by encouraging her to spend a night or weekend with friends or relatives prior to camp.
• Reassure her that you will write often and keep that promise! Short, cheerful letters are best. It is a real boost for a camper to have mail waiting for her upon her arrival at camp. No packages please.
• The more your daughter knows about Skyline the more secure she will feel. Seeing pictures of camp, watching the camp DVD, or even scheduling a camp tour helps her get familiar with the camp surroundings and facilities. Our Mother/Daughter Weekend is a great way for both mom and daughter to get aquainted with all things camp! Spend a weekend with us this Spring May 4-5.
• Meet other girls going to Camp Skyline from your local area
• Make sure your daughter knows all about the summer plans of those at home. If you will be out of town, please let the camp know when and where you can be reached.
• Spend extra time with your camper, choosing outfits, discussing grooming habits, making the bed, folding clothes, etc.
