General

Is my child ready for overnight Camp?

Great question! Every child is growing towards independence and you know best where they are on that journey! If this is your child’s first experience away from home, summer camp can be a very safe and positive time of growth. We’ve found that kids do great when they are excited about the activities available at EL-Sadai and parents have regular conversations with them about packing and working on independent tasks they’ll do at camp.
