I do not like going to summer camp, i get homesick, how can get through it?

Question

its a day camp and its just 30 mins away from my house its for soccer but when i go away to like far away camps like log cabin camps and stuff im better, can you guys help me get through it with some ideas?

Answer 1

Ok, day camp that is 30 minutes away.  How many days of it?

Can you take a cell phone or borrow your mom's just to call home?  Tell her why and how it helps you.  Or your dad?

Otherwise, what hobbies do you have?  Reading, drawing, something to take to put in the extra time while you wait.

And take a lawnchair & lunch or treats to make your own little 'spot' where you can set up a comfy area.  How about walkman or radio too:)

You'll be okay.  You're just uncomfortable with people and places you don't know.  I would be the same.

Answer 2

Try not to think about home and instead busy yourself with something distracting but enjoyable. have a good time with your friends at camp, and picture them as home if you have to. =D
