# Get familiar with camp surroundings. Check out where your child is going to sleep, swim and eat. Also check out daily routine and plan sheet of the activities. Know the evening activities and do visit the camp if permitted.
# Teach your child to take care of themselves. Practice camp is very much necessary. Send your child to spend a long weekend at your relative or friends place, teach them how to pack and unpack and how to make bed, how to set dinning table and more things. Do not call them when they are at your friends place, discuss it later about how they felt without parents’ involvement in any activity.
