Summer is the time to kick back, relax, and enjoy all of the great things that summer has to offer! For our kids, this often means attending a summer camp for a week or so. Sending our kids to summer camp can be quite emotional. After all, you are the only one who knows to cut the crust off their sandwiches!
However, summer camp can be a fantastic learning opportunity and allows kids to strengthen their social skills. But, before you send your child off to camp, it’s important to go over these safety tips:
Safety You Should Discuss With Your Child
- Fire safety
- Interactions with wildlife
- Tick checks and safety
- Water safety
