At Summer 365, we believe that some of life’s biggest lessons are tucked into the smallest moments – and nowhere is that truer than at camp.
Camp is full of the “big stuff”: independence, friendships, resilience, confidence. But one of the most beautiful (and often overlooked) gifts of a summer away is the ability it gives kids to slow down, soak it all in, and develop a deep appreciation for the little things – the ones we might miss in our fast-paced day-to-day lives.
And as we head into a season centered around gratitude, there’s no better time to reflect on how camp teaches this essential life skill – and how we as parents can nurture it at home, too.
Gratitude Isn’t Just a Thanksgiving Thing – It’s a Life Skill
Gratitude isn’t just about saying “thank you.” It’s about noticing. It’s about becoming aware of what brings us joy, what makes us feel seen and safe, and who helps make our world a little brighter.
Camp creates the perfect conditions for this:
Sharing a bunk with new friends, learning to take turns and lend a hand.
Noticing the way your counselor always remembers your favorite activity.
Appreciating the warm gooey s’more after a long hike, or the clean laundry when it comes back into the bunk.
Feeling the joy of a cheer echoing across the dining hall – and realizing it’s not the volume that matters, but the togetherness.
When we strip away all the noise – the screens, the constant stimulation – kids can more clearly recognize what truly fills their cups.
How You Can Bring Camp’s Gratitude Practice Home
Here are a few small-but-powerful ways to help your child build a gratitude muscle that will serve them long past the bunk:
1. Name the Little Joys
Start a new family ritual: around the dinner table, during the school commute, or before bed, ask everyone to name one small thing they’re grateful for from the day. Normalize noticing the little stuff – the way the sunlight hit the leaves, or the note a friend left in their locker.
2. Practice Self-Sufficiency with a Thankful Heart
Helping kids build independence isn’t just camp prep – it’s gratitude training. Putting away their laundry, packing their lunch, or rinsing shampoo out of their hair helps them appreciate what’s been done for them – and builds confidence at the same time.
3. Celebrate the Helpers
At camp, kids are surrounded by mentors and role models -counselors, specialists, kitchen staff – all working to create magic. At home, help them see the helpers around them: their teachers, coaches, babysitters, bus drivers. Have them write a note or make a small gesture of thanks.
4. Send a “Camp-Style” Shout-Out
Just like a bunkmate might get a shout-out at evening campfire, encourage your child to recognize someone in their life who’s made their day. A compliment, a sticky note on a mirror, or a quiet “thank you” goes a long way – and keeps the spirit of camp alive.
From the Bunk to the World
Gratitude is a campfire that keeps glowing long after the last song is sung. At Summer 365, we see it every year – kids come home from camp not just more independent, but more attuned to kindness, more thoughtful, and more aware of the world around them.
As we gather this Thanksgiving, we invite you to take a page from the bunk and celebrate the little things: the extra family time, the belly laughs, the shared moments of happiness – and the people who make it all possible.
Happy Thanksgiving (month!) from all of us at Summer 365. We are so grateful to be part of your family’s journey.

Understanding Camp Readiness (and How to Build It)
One of the most common questions we hear from families is: “How do I know if my child is ready for sleepaway camp?”
And here’s the honest answer: there’s no magic age or checklist. Readiness looks different for every child – and that’s exactly where the camp journey begins.
At Summer 365, we believe camp is where kids grow into themselves. So instead of asking if your child is already ready, the better question might be: Are they ready to grow?
What Camp Readiness Really Looks Like
Being “ready” doesn’t mean having it all figured out. It means showing signs that your child is open to trying new things, gaining independence, and navigating life away from home – even if it feels a little scary at first.
Some indicators your child may be ready:
They’ve expressed curiosity or excitement about camp.
They’ve had positive time away from home.
They enjoy being around peers and participating in group activities.
They’re showing a desire to do more on their own – or could benefit from it.
And you, as a parent, feel ready to give them the space to grow.
But even if those signs feel fuzzy, don’t worry – readiness can be built.
Building Independence Starts Now
One of the most effective (and empowering!) ways to help prepare your child for camp is to start building mini moments of independence at home – even months ahead of summer.
Here are a few easy ways to practice:
Camp-style showers: Teach them how to fully wash and rinse their hair (yep, shampoo and conditioner!). Add in a “timed” shower challenge to make it fun and practical.
Laundry ownership: Let them be in charge of folding, putting away, or even helping to pack and unpack their clothing – especially their camp duffel.
Bed-making & tidying up: Start small with daily bunk-like habits – making their bed, organizing their space, keeping track of personal belongings.
Self-care routines: Encourage brushing hair and teeth, applying sunscreen, and picking out outfits without reminders.
These little wins add up. They not only build confidence but help your child feel capable and comfortable managing daily life at camp – without you right there to help.
Not Sure If It’s the Right Time?
That’s where we come in.
Our advisors specialize in helping families navigate the emotional, developmental, and logistical questions around camp. We’ll talk through your child’s personality, your family’s goals, and what type of environment might be the right fit – when the time is right.
Sometimes a child is ready sooner than you think. Sometimes waiting a year makes all the difference. Either way, we’ll help you feel informed, empowered, and supported.
Big Picture Reminder
Camp isn’t about being perfectly ready – it’s about becoming.
And when a camper finds the right place, at the right time, they’ll rise to the occasion in all the best ways.
We’ve seen it thousands of times – the nervous first timer who becomes the camper counting down the days until next summer.
You’ve got this. And so do they.
Let’s Talk
Reach out anytime. We’re here to guide you through every step of the journey.
Because when a child is given the space to grow, the results are nothing short of magical.

At Summer 365, we believe that choosing the right summer camp isn’t about scrolling endlessly through a massive directory or picking from a generic list. It’s about finding the camp that feels right for your child, for your family, and for this moment in time. That’s why our curated list of camp recommendations is just the beginning of the deeply personalized journey we take every family we help on.
A Handpicked Starting Point, Not a Database Dump
Our recommendations aren’t plucked from a spreadsheet or filtered by algorithm. Each list we share is tailored to your child’s interests, needs, and personality. We consider everything from camp philosophy to program structure, session length, location, and even social dynamics. It’s a thoughtful, human-driven process that prioritizes fit over flash.
We’re With You Every Step of the Way
After you receive your customized list, the real work (and the real support) begins. We help you compare and contrast your options, diving into the details that matter: How big is too big? How structured is too structured? What kind of community will help your child thrive?
We’ll help you ask the right questions, not just about activities and cabins, but about values, leadership styles, and what everyday life at camp actually feels like.
Beyond the Brochure: Tours, Directors, and Timing
From planning camp tours to facilitating conversations with directors, we’ll help you go deeper than the website. We guide you through registration timelines and strategies, making sure you never miss a key deadline or opportunity. Whether you’re months away or working on a tight schedule, we’re here to help you move forward with confidence.
A Sounding Board: Emotionally and Logistically
Choosing a camp can be emotional. Maybe it’s your child’s first time away, or maybe you’re navigating different preferences between siblings. We’re not just advisors, we’re sounding boards. We’re here to talk through the nerves, the questions, the logistics, and everything in between. We’ve been there. And we get it.
A Thoughtful, Informed Decision, Made Together
At the end of the day, this isn’t just about picking a place on a map. It’s about making a decision that aligns with your family’s values, your child’s personality, and your hopes for their growth. We’re honored to help families make choices that feel thoughtful, informed, and just right.
So yes, our camp list is a great starting point. But it’s only the beginning of what we hope will be a supportive, insightful, and empowering experience for your family.
Let’s start the journey together.

Why Post-Camp Hesitation Is Normal – and What to Do About It
It’s one of the most common questions we get this time of year:
“My child had a great summer… so why are they suddenly saying they don’t want to go back to camp?”
If you’re asking yourself that too, you’re not alone – and you’re not doing anything wrong. In fact, it’s more normal than you think. This kind of post-camp hesitation is something we hear every year from families, often right around the time early enrollment deadlines are creeping up.
It usually goes something like this:
Your child steps off the bus in August beaming with joy, rattling off names of new best friends, retelling color war moments, and wearing camp merch with pride. Maybe they even cried when saying goodbye. They’re clearly “campsick” and glowing with growth and independence.
But then… you bring up camp for next summer, and they hesitate. Or say no. Or offer a vague “I’m not sure.”
And you’re left thinking – Wait, what just happened?!
The Re-Entry Reality
Coming home from camp – especially after a first summer – can be a rollercoaster of emotion. On one hand, they’ve had this incredible, immersive experience. On the other, they’re back to the comforts of home: sleeping in their own bed, endless pantry access, one-on-one parental attention. It’s cozy. Safe. Familiar.
Suddenly, the idea of leaving again – even if camp was great – can feel overwhelming. Especially for younger campers or those who experienced some homesickness, the emotional residue of missing home can still linger, even if the summer was a resounding success overall.
There’s also a timing factor. They’re barely unpacked before jumping into school, sports, and routines. And when life at home starts to fill back up, camp may begin to feel like a distant dream rather than a place they’re excited to return to.
All of this is not only normal, but also expected.
Trust the Process – and the Bigger Picture
Camp is aspirational by design. Every summer builds on the last, unlocking new roles, privileges, traditions, and friendships. One of our team members shared that their son took several years to fully buy into the “magic” of camp – but now, after his fourth summer, he calls it his summer home.
Another wise reminder: your camper isn’t returning to the same experience. They’re going back as a veteran. With confidence. With knowledge. With a seat at the table. The inside jokes, the songs, the shared history – that’s what makes each summer even more meaningful.
Sometimes kids just need time and space to remember all that.
We’ve seen it countless times: the same child who says “I don’t think I want to go back” in September is suddenly counting down the days by February.
What Can You Do?
Here’s how to navigate this moment with empathy and perspective:
Give it time. Try not to panic. You don’t need to force a decision now. Many families choose to secure their spot with a deposit and simply let the topic breathe for a few months.
Follow their lead. Some kids want to talk about camp right away. Others need distance. Either way is okay. Respect their rhythm.
Reflect, don’t convince. Instead of asking “Do you want to go back?”, try:
“What were some of your favorite moments?”
“Do you miss anyone from your bunk?”
“What are you most proud of from camp?”
These questions invite storytelling and connection, which can naturally rekindle the camp love.
Reconnect with camp friends. Set up playdates or FaceTimes. Seeing those familiar faces often reignites their excitement.
Revisit the photos and letters. Sometimes kids forget just how happy they were – a few memories go a long way.
Loop in your director or advisor. A winter or spring home visit or a casual call with camp leadership can make a huge difference. Directors love connecting with returning campers and helping remind them of what they have to look forward to.
Let Them Borrow Your Confidence
The truth is, your camper might not yet see the big picture – but you can. You saw their growth. Their joy. Their independence. And you’re allowed to lovingly hold that belief on their behalf until they’re ready to see it again for themselves.
Trust that the hesitations will settle. That “I’m not sure” may become “I can’t wait” once the air turns warmer and the calendar flips toward summer.
Until then, keep the lines of connection open, hold space for mixed feelings, and remember:
Sometimes the best thing we can do as parents is remind our kids of just how strong, brave, and capable they already are.

I’ve dreamed of this moment since the day we found out our 12-week-old fetus was a girl. Of course, she would follow in my footsteps to Camp Robindel, just as I had followed in my mom’s. It felt written in the stars: my mom was the Blue Team Song Leader during her Juniper summer in 1973, I was the White Team Song Leader in 2003, and yes – I had already pictured my daughter standing on that same stage in 2030, sixty years later. Let’s be honest… her speech was practically written.
Robindel was my summer home for eight unforgettable years – seven as a camper, one as a counselor. It shaped me. It taught me independence, resilience, leadership, and friendship in the most authentic ways. It welcomed me back when I asked to be a last-minute counselor just days before camp began. It even made its way into my “Why Penn” essay, and my dad couldn’t resist working it into his wedding speech. To this day, I can tell you people’s Juniper summers, their Alma themes, and yes – I still play Robindel Jewish geography. I’m a walking banner of Camp Robindel pride.
When I was 15, visiting my brother at Emory, I met Lauren (Kasnett) Nearpass. We bonded instantly over our shared camp obsession. Years later, when Lauren launched Summer 365, I knew I’d eventually find my way to her team. And when I did, in the spring of 2023, my love for camp was reignited in a whole new way.
But here’s what I quickly realized, even as a lifelong camper: every camp has its own magic. Its own traditions, facilities, culture, and leadership style. There’s no one-size-fits-all. I grew up in the world of single-sex New Hampshire camps, with Lake Winnipesaukee as my backdrop. But through Summer 365, I’ve had the chance to explore camps across the country, each with its own philosophy and personality – all incredible in different ways.
So when it came time to think about camp for my daughter, I knew I had to (try to!) take off my nostalgia goggles and follow the same process I guide my clients through. With my husband as my sounding board (and my mentor Lanie as well), I asked myself the questions we always ask parents:
What is your child like?
What do you hope they’ll gain from camp?
What kind of environment will help them thrive?
That’s when it clicked. This wasn’t about me. This wasn’t about reliving my summers. This was about my daughter – and finding the place where she would grow, flourish, and make memories of her own.
Yes, I held my breath as we pulled into camp. Yes, I was nervous, excited, and a little teary. But walking through those gates – now as a mom – I asked the questions, met the directors, and looked at it all with fresh eyes. And I knew.
I knew Sophie (and eventually Logan) would thrive here. Not because it was mine. Not because of tradition. But because it was right for her.
So here we are. A third-generation Robindeler. Watching the torch get passed – not because it had to be, but because it’s where she belongs.
And I’m just so, so grateful to be part of the journey – as a mom, as a camp consultant, and as a lifelong believer in the magic of camp.

This week’s article in The Cut, “How Camp Visiting Day Became a Competition for Moms” (especially with the tag line “I Swear, They’re Flying in Nobu Sushi for Their Kids’), struck a nerve – especially among those of us who live and breathe the camp world year-round. It paints Visiting Day as a showy, competitive spectacle driven by parents desperate to impress.
And sure, there are moments of excess – the overflowing candy, the trendy pillows (or this year’s hottest item: the Labubu), the sushi platters – but that’s not what Visiting Day is about. That’s not what camp is about.
And let’s be honest: that article wasn’t about celebrating camp. It was about parents showing off, living vicariously through their children in an unhealthy way. The fact that many parents didn’t want to be quoted when referencing the overindulgence says it all.
What the article missed is the most important truth:
Camp itself is the gift.
It’s not about what parents bring in coolers or their carefully curated Instagram posts.
The real magic of sleepaway camp is everything that can’t be bought:
Resilience
Independence
Friendship
Confidence
Joy
It’s the highlights of childhood.
For weeks at a time, campers unplug, live in nature, and discover who they are when their parents aren’t managing their every move. They make friends face-to-face, without screens or social media. They try new things, laugh at themselves, navigate homesickness, and build bunkmate bonds that last a lifetime.
They fight, they make up, they laugh until their bellies hurt.
They learn how to waterski, make a bed, and what to do when their toothbrush falls face down on the bunk floor (pro tip: send multiples!).
They figure out who they are – without a smartphone or a filter.
The true luxury of sleepaway camp is the freedom to be messy, silly, and fully present in a way that is almost impossible back home.
It’s doing swim tests in a cold lake early in the morning.
It’s singing your heart out in the dining hall with your friends and counselors.
It’s the thrill of Color War or Olympics, the pride of climbing the ropes course, the inside jokes whispered with bunkmates by flashlight.
The Cut focuses on the optics of privilege – but what it misses is the deep equality that camp creates.
Bunks don’t care whether you’re a CEO’s kid or a scholarship camper.
Everyone wears the same camp T-shirt.
Everyone eats the same grilled cheese.
Everyone shares bug spray and fans on hot, humid nights.
That’s the point.
Even Visiting Day, at its best, is a celebration of growth – not a competition.
If you’re a camp parent, focus on what actually matters: being there, not being seen.
Kids crave connection, not excess.
They want hugs more than cupcakes, undivided attention more than trendy gifts.
And sure – sometimes parents overdo it because it’s hard: we miss them!
But in truth, Visiting Day is a glimpse into how happy, capable, and resilient our kids have become on their own.
As parents and professionals, we understand this well.
The designer outfits and cookie cakes aren’t what shape campers.
It’s those precious, unplugged days in the woods –
Learning how to make friendship bracelets.
Playing sports all day long.
Memorizing all the words to the camp cheers and songs in the camp play.
Whispering with bunkmates under the covers.
It’s easy to mock the excess.
It’s easy to roll eyes at parents who overpack their kids’ favorite snacks from home.
But reducing camp to a single day of indulgence misses the fifty other days that matter so much more.
We who live and breathe camp know what is real:
It’s the tears at closing campfire.
The lifelong friendships that survive college, weddings, and middle-of-the-night phone calls.
It’s what gets our campers through those cold, winter nights knowing their summer months are on the horizon.
The truth that rings true every time: camp friends are the best friends.
That is the true luxury.
So keep your sushi stories if you must – and maybe some of us do bring sushi.
But don’t reduce camp to that.
We’ll keep telling the real stories of sleepaway camp, and we’ll keep sending our kids back to the woods, year after year, because what they find there – the hugs, the laughter, the memories, and the independence they carry home – will never fit inside a cooler.

There’s something quietly beautiful about the way sleepaway camp keeps the art of letter writing alive. In a world where kids are constantly texting, snapping, and voice-noting, camp offers a rare pause – a place where handwritten notes still matter. As a parent, there’s a magic in sitting down to write a letter to your child, knowing that for a few minutes, you might have their undivided attention as they read your words (might is the key word!).
At camp, this nearly lost art flourishes. There is no email, no texts, no quick emoji replies. Just pen and paper – the same tools that connected campers and parents for generations before us. It’s a slower kind of communication, and that’s part of its charm.
But here’s an important reminder: camp letters are written in a moment in time – a moment that may have passed days (or even weeks at the rate camp mail takes recently!) before you actually read it. That homesick note you’re holding? Your camper may have written it on a rainy Tuesday when they felt a little low, but by the time you read it on the following Saturday, they’re already back to swimming, singing, and cheering on their team. It’s a good lesson in taking things with a grain of salt (and maybe a deep breath, too).
Letter writing also feels a bit like a tiny window into your camper’s day. I like to imagine my daughter reading my letters at rest hour – maybe sprawled on her bunk with her friends, rolling her eyes at my attempts to be funny or “cool,” but secretly soaking up every word (wishful thinking, perhaps!). There have also been years where I find some letters unopened when she gets home. I also love to send photos I see of her from the nightly camp pics (and yes – camp photos could be a totally separate blog post!). I spent years sending articles to my son about the New York Mets – and if you follow baseball or NY sports – you know those articles were not too uplifting – but they were something that we had a shared interest in.
And then there’s the big question: how often should you write?
I have a friend who swore by writing her kids every single day so they would never go a day without getting mail, even if the letters were short. I, on the other hand, felt differently. Isn’t that part of camp too? To learn patience, independence, and resilience? To experience what it feels like to wait for mail and discover that joy when it finally arrives?
There’s no perfect answer just what feels right for you and your family.
And what should you say? Keep it light, keep it positive, and remember that this isn’t the place for “I miss you so much I can’t stand it!” Instead, share funny anecdotes from home, updates about the pets, or what’s blooming in the garden. Ask open-ended questions – “What’s been your favorite activity?” or “Who’s the funniest person in your bunk?” – and celebrate their independence. Most importantly, remind them how proud you are of them.
At the end of the day, these letters – imperfect, delayed, and sometimes met with eye-rolls – become part of the camp experience itself. They are a small but meaningful thread that connects home to camp, parent to child, past to present.
So, whether you write every day or just a few times, whether you fill your letters with updates or silly jokes, just know: your words matter. In a summer filled with growth and independence, your letters quietly remind your camper that they are loved, missed, and cheered on from afar – one envelope at a time.

Every night around midnight – well, 11:46 p.m. to be exact – my phone buzzes with a familiar notification:
“New Tagged Photo – We found a picture of…”
Sometimes it’s one photo. Sometimes it’s ten. I never know what I’m going to get. And the second that little notification hits, the emotions flood in.
Will it be a good shot? A solo pic? A massive group photo where I have to squint and zoom just to find my child’s elbow?
The other night, I was scrolling through the latest round of photos of my younger son and his bunkmates when I kept going… and then, there it was.
That one photo.
Both of my boys. Together. Smiling. Side by side. And it stopped me in my tracks.
Because behind that single image is a whole day’s worth of shared – and totally separate – experiences: cheering in the dining hall, swimming in the lake, World Cup soccer day, an intercamp match. They’d each had their own day, their own bunk, their own schedule. But somehow, in that moment, they found each other.
Not because they had to. Not because I told them to. But because they wanted to.
And it’s not just that they looked happy. It’s that they looked happy together.
At home, let’s be honest – there’s bickering. Competing. Door slamming. Eye rolling. They crave their own space, their own friends, their own moments.
But at camp? Something shifts.
Camp is the great equalizer. It gives them the freedom to be their full selves – apart and also side by side.
It’s my older son stepping up as the big brother I always hoped he’d be.
It’s my younger one proudly rising to meet him, feeling lucky to have someone to look up to.
It’s Chipwiches shared at Snack. It’s hugs after being drafted to the same Super Bowl team for the first time ever.
It’s subtle. Unspoken. Pure.
Sometimes, when I see the two of them together in these photos, I hear them saying, “It’s our time.”
Straight out of The Goonies.
And it is.
No homework. No rushing to practice. No pressure. Just them, in a world that somehow brings out the best of both of them – together.
These are the memories that will stick.
Not the perfectly folded clothes in their trunks. Not the Jibbitz I hunted down the night before.
But this.
These unscripted, unexpected moments where they choose each other. In the middle of the chaos. In the middle of their own camp lives. They find each other. And that’s everything.
To my boys: this is your time – your sun-kissed, loud, messy, wonderful time. You’ll spend most of it apart. But when you find each other in the in-between? That’s the magic.
And getting to witness just a glimpse of it? That’s the real gift.
