OK, so they're not going to come back a completely different child, but spending eight weeks in the woods exploring nature and singing campfire songs with new friends changes a kid. They are going to want talk about their adventures nonstop (which may include activities you would have never pictured them doing) and they might even have a whole slew of new interests that they want to continue to pursue outside of camp.
As a past childhood camper, I promise you, this is a great thing. Camp is supposed to change your life, and these experiences — and the people they're shared with — help to shape your child for the better.
