Greetings! If you're reading this blog, it means you have a camper at Asbury Hills this week! How exciting! My name is Carroll and I am a former Camp Director and parent of 4 kids. The basic idea of this blog is to act as a support for you, the parent. It's a forum for you to check in with what's going on while your child is at camp. I will be blogging periodically through the week with updates on how things are going at camp. If I can answer any questions for you or be of any help to you during your week please feel free to respond to any of the entries, ask questions, and let me know if I can be of service to you.
I hope check in went smoothly today and you helped get your child settled in. I would love to hear about how excited your child was to be going to camp. Two of my children will be attending camp this year. In fact, they're going in a couple of weeks. They are very excited and can hardly wait. They're anxious to try out all the "stuff" there is to do at camp!
Being able to visit camp and write about what's going on has definitely helped my anxiety about letting them go. The irony is certainly not lost on me that as a former Camp Director, the one who very carefully trained camp staff, and comforted campers, I am now on the other side of things and worrying about sending my kids off to camp. I know they'll be fine and have a blast, but I also know that I will be checking pictures daily to make sure they're smiling and look happy.
I hope that this can be a resource for you. As the week concludes, I will also be sharing counselor stories about your children and their experiences through the week. Definitely keep checking during the week and don't forget to check back when the week is over as well!

Thanks so much for this blog! We had two very excited campers check in yesterday. We have one attending Express and one in Fusion. This is their first experience at Asbury Hills and needless to say that they were both excited and very nervous at the same time. (Actually, their parents are too!)
ReplyDeleteWe look forward to your future posts and also seeing update pix on the bunk1 site.
I'm so glad this is exciting for them! Camp is supposed to be! I thought my youngest might like to try the Express but he was adamant about going a full week even for his first time. It was hard to say no to that level of excitement. I'll be interested to hear and share with you the counselors feedback and experiences with your express camper! How old is your Fusion camper?
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel about being excited and nervous for them as well. I think I'm just as nervous for them to have a fantastic experience as I am about them returning home in one piece! ha ha!
Hope it's a great week for you and thanks for checking the blog out.
