and come home singing funny camp
songs. Many parents find summer
works best when it alternates the
structure of camp with the un-
structured freedom of loafing around
at home.
So, place your child's hand on the
Boy Scout Handbook (or Girl Scout
Handbook) and have him repeat after
you .. .

I SOLEMNLY SWEAR
NOT TO:

Throw my lunch away or trade my
cucumber sandwich, carrot sticks,
hard boiled egg and apple for two
brownies, one candy bar, a fruit roll-up
and pop tart.
Forget my bathing suit and expect
Mom to drive 15 miles to deliver it.
Bring my camp science project —
an egg made bouncy with vinegar —
into the living room.
Make the bus wait while I find my
gym shoes.
Wear the T-shirt from last year's
camp on the day we go on a field trip.
Empty my camp bag full of sand,
dirt, grass, cookie crumbs and a wet
bathing suit on my bed.
Get sick and lonely at 2 a.m. on
the weekly overnight and decide to call
home.
Jump into the deep end because
my friend dared me to . . . only, he
knows how to swim.
Cry every morning before I leave
and scream, "I hate Camp. I wanna
stay Home."
