Keep a family photo in your wallet and take it out every now and then to remind you of what they look like.

Bring your cell phone or calling card to call home as often as you want. It could be once a month, once a week or once a day, but talking to your family and friends will help you deal with being apart from them.

If you don't have a cell or calling card, then ask to use the public phone in the counselor's office. You can also bring pre-stamped postcards to write home.

Camp life won't keep you busy 24/7. So if you think you're gonna get bored at times, bring along some comic books, cards, a board game and magazines. You can even bring some munchies (sharing snacks is a great way to make friends), but don't keep it lying around for too long cuz it'll attract bugs. And if a trail of ants does come along, just bust out the insect repellent!
