WHAT HAPPENS IF A CHILD IS HOMESICK?
During our two-week staff training period, counselors are sensitized to the more subtle signs of homesickness. Counselors give lots of TLC and help the young person to make a friend and join in the life of the community. In daily staff meetings we discuss the child’s needs and share in supporting the young person. Meg & Peter speak with children daily and contact the parents to review the situation. A full adjustment is usually evident after a week has passed. Rarely do Hidden Valley children fail to become comfortable at camp.
