In reply to Susan Bosse. I love that you're here, Susan! And you're right, being sad to leave camp is not the same thing as being sad to come home. It's just a very bittersweet transition. Also, it's hard to understand or explain to someone who has never been to camp. Thank you for sending this on to your DIL. I bet she "gets" it a lot more now than she did! Thank you again for being here. My BFF loves you very much, and now I do too. XOXOXO

I showed this post to my daughter-in-law tonight & it was Rey helpful for her. My granddaughter is at camp for her 4th year, coming home Sunday. Like her Grammy, she is a born camper. Her birthday was yesterday so she was allowed to call home & she mentioned that she was sad to leave camp ( which is not the same thing as sad to come home!). My daughter-in-law, who is a fabulous mom but never went to camp, took some offense at that. Tonight I showed her your post…I am not sure she really “gets” it, but she did say she would give her space to mourn. Thanx for your wise words…no wonder your BFF loves you do much!

In reply to Elizabeth.

I don’t know why, but I’m always a little anxious when a new post goes out. It’s so dumb because the blog is for my girls so it’s how they react one day that will be most important, but I can’t EVEN tell you how nice it is to kick off comments with a positive one, especially from you. Thank you for being here, through all of the stuff we are going through. It’s nice for me to know I’m not alone either, and I couldn’t ask for someone more special than you to make me feel like that. I’m glad they had fun and I’m glad we were (in some way) a part of it. XOXOXOXO #camprules #sodoyou

I enjoyed your post! I noticed that my daughter had a much more difficult time after camp then my son. She cried about missing Allie, her counselor, who she knew all of four days. She cried every night for a week because she missed Allie so much because she was the nicest person ever. After the second night it got pretty old, but she finally got over it. Reading your blog really helped make the decision to send them to sleepover camp. Even with all the drama of re-entry we’ll send them again next year, they just had so much fun 🙂
