experience and that played into
his feelings about attending
overnight camp."
Ben, now 10, started camp at
age 8. "We wanted him to
perience the independence of
overnight camp," said Rabbi
Kohn, who served as camp rab-
bi during two of his son's 4-week
session.
Rabbi Kohn doesn't think
Ben experienced homesickness.
But, say camp directors, many
first-time campers, whatever
their age, do and camp staffers
are trained to deal with it. As
the child becomes involved in
camp activities, homesickness
rarely lasts longer than a day
or two.
But parents can sabotage
that process, too, Dr. Gershman
says, by giving the child an
"out." "The worst thing parents
can do is tell the kid, If you
don't like it here, we'll come pick
you up and take you home.' Or
they tell the kid to phone home
if he gets lonely. Then he has
a constant reminder of home."
Dr. Cohen said, "We have
more 'home-missing' parents,
as we call them, than homesick
kids. Our camp policy is no
phone calls while the child is at
camp but we get a lot of calls
from parents who give some ex-
cuse like 'It's my birthday and
I want my child to sing Happy
Birthday to me.' We tell the par-
ents that the child is getting
along fine without you and then
they often laugh." ❑
