I worked at a camp one summer and it was the worst experience ever. This is just advice in general from a former camp counselor:

1. If your kid is on behavioral modification medicine -ie Ritialin - make sure that they take it to camp with them. I don't know how many kids we had to send home because their parents didn't send them with their kids.

2. Don't tell your kids that they can call you if they want to come home. They can't.

3. Write your kids letters - no one wants to be the only one who didn't get anything all week!

4. If your child is afraid of bugs, the dark or anything like that - camp may not be the best place.

I'm sure there is more... just remember - camp counselors are usually paid pretty poorly and it is a hard job. Try your best to make it easy on them by preparing your children positively for the experience.
