Overnight Camp: Parent Webinar Series

Parent Webinar Series - Call #3:

Is My Child Ready for Overnight Camp?

Sending a child to overnight camp is a big milestone – and it’s completely normal to wonder if they’re truly ready. This virtual conversation is designed for parents who are asking questions like: Is my child too young? What if they get homesick? How do I know they can handle being away from home? 

Join leaders from YMCA of Greater Charlotte’s Camp Harrison and Camp Thunderbird as they share the common signs of readiness, the skills that help campers succeed, and the ways camps support children (and parents) who are new to the overnight experience. They’ll talk honestly about homesickness, independence, communication, and how families can prepare their child (and themselves) for a positive first experience.

Whether your child is eager to go or still a little unsure, you’ll leave with practical insights, reassurance, and a clearer sense of whether overnight camp feels like the right next step. Bring your questions – this is an open, supportive conversation with no pressure or commitments.
