These Are the 14 Things Your Child's Counselor Wants You to Know Before Camp Starts

There's nothing worse than having to make a phone call home to a camper's parents to inform them of a sprained ankle from the adventure course, a bump on the head from tripping over a tree root, or worse, an outbreak of pinkeye in one of the cabins. If something is seriously wrong, the camp is obligated to call, but if your child happens to write to you about throwing up because he ate too many hot dogs, please don't blame his counselor for "letting it happen." It's all a part of the experience.
